- 2:31Speaker 6: the afternoon. Hell, Irvin, Joe used to be out here
- 2:35Speaker 6: and in Colorado, as we know, the afternoons can get
- 2:37Speaker 6: a bit sketchy at times.
- 2:39Speaker 5: Oh, you're just dodging thunderstorm.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Hey, the first crack of a thunderstorm, the first crack
- 2:45Speaker 3: of anything, Joe Williams Brown later. I mean, they'd flee
- 2:51Speaker 3: this place.
- 2:51Speaker 4: It's truly remarkable though most how Rog has one of
- 2:56Speaker 4: our listeners, Steve. Steve sells, are the just just dropped off?
- 3:03Speaker 3: Steve's too nice.
- 3:04Speaker 5: I'm not even gonna eat this. I'm just gonna put
- 3:06Speaker 5: it down my pants.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Steve, you're so nice. Really, you treat us way too nicely.
- 3:11Speaker 4: He stops by with burritos. I mean, come on, the
- 3:15Speaker 4: rest of you, listeners, what are you doing?

- 3:21Speaker 2: I've never loved someone more. I hope my wife's not listening. Actually, Steve,
- 3:27Speaker 2: you're the man, fellas. What are we looking to.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Rather?
- 3:31Speaker 5: What are we looking forward to the most today?
- 3:34Speaker 4: I think today's practice is not gonna be as as
- 3:38Speaker 4: quick as yesterday's because it's a little cooler outside.
- 3:41Speaker 3: I'm I'm really anxious.
- 3:43Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of activity between Riley Moss and
- 3:46Speaker 4: Courtland Sutton.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I don't know if you've noticed that, but they love
- 3:49Speaker 3: going at it. They love going toe to toe.
- 3:51Speaker 4: If I had my brothers, I would love if they
- 3:54Speaker 4: just did receiver dB drills all day, because.
- 3:58Speaker 3: You really, that's all I want to see.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Want to see the Broncos receivers goes go up against
- 4:03Speaker 4: the Broncos defensive back strength against strength. I think that's
- 4:05Speaker 4: the only way they get better. And as I see
- 4:07Speaker 4: Riley Moss shine as he did yesterday, I keep asking myself,
- 4:11Speaker 4: if he keeps playing at that level, how is Jaday
- 4:13Speaker 4: Baron ever gonna.
- 4:13Speaker 3: See the field?
- 4:15Speaker 5: I don't think jan A barn.
- 4:18Speaker 3: It's a great, great question. Pick. I don't know.
- 4:21Speaker 2: He's gonna be in your nickel and your dime packages.
- 4:24Speaker 2: If someone gets injured at some point, then he is
- 4:26Speaker 2: a he's a backup corner in that situation, they're playing
- 4:30Speaker 2: the long game with Jade Barn, they're playing the in
- 4:33Speaker 2: your third year in the league, now you step into
- 4:35Speaker 2: a starting role and a lot of people and I
- 4:38Speaker 2: know d Makin will come on between ten and two
- 4:40Speaker 2: and say it's still a disaster of a pick. But
- 4:42Speaker 2: if they play the long game knowing that Riley Moss
- 4:46Speaker 2: probably can't stay here from a salary cap standpoint, I
- 4:49Speaker 2: think that draft pick then looks pretty good.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Okay, well right now, yeah, well we'll see.
- 4:54Speaker 6: I mean, you're you're projecting, you're projecting down the road now, brother,
- 4:58Speaker 6: I mean, a first round pick should be able to
- 5:00Speaker 6: contribute and hit right away?
- 5:01Speaker 3: No, should he not? I don't know, dude. I don't
- 5:03Speaker 3: let go of good talent unless you don't know the
- 5:05Speaker 3: talent behind him.
- 5:06Speaker 6: But let's be honest. Who's the nickel right now? It's
- 5:08Speaker 6: Ja Kwan? Yeah, okay, okay, so it's Ja Kuan. So
- 5:11Speaker 6: he's the dime guy or or he's you know, he's But.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Is that worth a first round pick?
- 5:17Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 5:17Speaker 6: That's that's my point is the first round pick is
- 5:20Speaker 6: a dime guy. Now, And when you look in front
- 5:23Speaker 6: of him, he's he's got a logjam, he's got no
- 5:26Speaker 6: where to go. I'm not saying you're not right down
- 5:28Speaker 6: down the line here, Roger. I'm just saying, for right now,
- 5:30Speaker 6: this seems seems like you have a first round pick.
- 5:32Speaker 6: You're just kind of stashing and waiting.
- 5:35Speaker 4: Yeah, you're quick to You're quick to dismiss Riley and
- 5:39Speaker 4: says he's gone. I mean, I I don't let I
- 5:42Speaker 4: don't let Riley Moss and talent walk out the door.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Lists. I'm positive whoever replaces him, how do you how
- 5:47Speaker 3: do you find a way to keep him again?
- 5:50Speaker 4: I you do what you gotta do to keep him,
- 5:53Speaker 4: because if he can play, he makes that secondary and
- 5:55Speaker 4: that defense that much better.
- 5:56Speaker 3: I just don't dismiss him because you you drafted to
- 5:59Speaker 3: do him the first I don't know.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, that's not what I'm doing. I
- 6:03Speaker 5: think you misunderstand me.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I'm not saying you draft Jah de Baron and because
- 6:07Speaker 2: you drafted him, you then have to move Riley out
- 6:10Speaker 2: the door. I'm just looking at the Riley Moss situation
- 6:12Speaker 2: saying I think someone's gonna throw eighteen million dollars at him,
- 6:15Speaker 2: and you simply don't have that cash.
- 6:17Speaker 6: You know, and again you're you're talking about a third
- 6:19Speaker 6: round picking Riley Moss. What in twenty twenty three is
- 6:22Speaker 6: that what it was twenty I mean, and it doesn't
- 6:24Speaker 6: matter where guys are.
- 6:25Speaker 5: Picked, it's just how good they are.
- 6:27Speaker 6: And he's a damn good cornerback, especially with everything that
- 6:31Speaker 6: he sees opposite of Pat.
- 6:32Speaker 4: Certain But this is where the Broncos have gotten really
- 6:35Speaker 4: good at re signing guys, extending guys before those deals
- 6:39Speaker 4: become much more expensive.
- 6:40Speaker 3: They did with Patrick's Ertan. I mean, they did it.
- 6:43Speaker 4: They resign and extended Sir Tan to the point where
- 6:46Speaker 4: they had to come back at the beginning of this
- 6:48Speaker 4: season and say.
- 6:49Speaker 7: You know what, We're gonna give you more marks, thank
- 6:51Speaker 7: you money. They did the Chris Harris thing. Here's money
- 6:54Speaker 7: for nothing, you're handsome. Here take take this extra five mil.
- 6:58Speaker 7: I mean, that's kind of that's kind of the point
- 6:59Speaker 7: that cash that check. You're not gonna get that check.
- 7:02Speaker 5: Dress come on one of these days.
- 7:05Speaker 6: It's the it's the hey man, you look great. Would
- 7:07Speaker 6: you like some more mills? Okay, yeah, that sounds good,
- 7:09Speaker 6: pretty good, thank you.
- 7:10Speaker 5: You know what today is, You're not I think today
- 7:12Speaker 5: is the I think it's the Jalen Waddle day.
- 7:15Speaker 2: What do you mean, ads, I think you're gonna see
- 7:18Speaker 2: him on a bunch of one on ones. You're gonna
- 7:20Speaker 2: see the I just think you're gonna see Jayleen Waddle
- 7:24Speaker 2: run all over the field. Is it gonna matter? Is
- 7:26Speaker 2: it gonna mean anything? Not necessarily, they're not in pads.
- 7:29Speaker 2: I won't really know what he is until Week one,
- 7:32Speaker 2: on that Monday night against Kansas City. But if I'm
- 7:34Speaker 2: looking for something today, jalat.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Okay, we did have a Drew Sanders siding though, right,
- 7:39Speaker 3: He did practice yes today, So that's.
- 7:41Speaker 6: That's good news. I mean, so at least he's able
- 7:43Speaker 6: to get out there on the field.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Is that a bonus this year?
- 7:46Speaker 2: Because the past couple of seasons, you've walked into a
- 7:49Speaker 2: year going Drew Sanders is someone who we are expecting
- 7:54Speaker 2: to have, like he's going to be on this roster,
- 7:56Speaker 2: and then he gets injured and you have to scramble it.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Inside linebacker feels though, and maybe it's a make or
- 8:01Speaker 2: break year for him. It's make or break certainly for him.
- 8:04Speaker 2: But I feel as though going into this season, Drew
- 8:07Speaker 2: Sanders was an afterthought and Now that he's back at
- 8:09Speaker 2: practice and he's healthy, you know, for odd day he
- 8:13Speaker 2: gets to be a bonus player.
- 8:14Speaker 4: You know what, Keep an eye on those guys who
- 8:17Speaker 4: on the periphery, Keep an eye on who plays special teams.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Keep an eye on who's in the special teams groups.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Because he wasn't yesterday when I was watching the punt unit, especially,
- 8:26Speaker 4: he was not in there. And if you're not in
- 8:28Speaker 4: special teams and you're a reserve player, that's trouble.
- 8:31Speaker 3: I mean, maybe he means his way in there.
- 8:34Speaker 5: Does that mean they don't view him as a reserve player.
- 8:36Speaker 3: I don't know yet.
- 8:37Speaker 4: I mean, yesterday was the first day he practiced, so
- 8:40Speaker 4: it could have something to do with that. But I'm
- 8:42Speaker 4: I'm telling you, when you watch special teams units line up,
- 8:45Speaker 4: look at the reserves who are playing in those units.
- 8:48Speaker 5: And I didn't see I didn't see it yesterday.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Yeah I did.
- 8:51Speaker 5: Did that gigantic wide receiver from the UFL? Was he
- 8:54Speaker 5: in punt coverage.
- 8:56Speaker 3: On a couple reps? Yes? All right? Yeah?
- 8:58Speaker 4: And they used every return guy yesterday because you know,
- 9:01Speaker 4: clearly they need to because if Mims isn't in the plans,
- 9:05Speaker 4: they gotta make sure that somebody else is. Although you know,
- 9:08Speaker 4: did you guys hear Sean Payton this week earlier this
- 9:10Speaker 4: week say, Marvin Mims is killing it in this camp.
- 9:12Speaker 3: He's saying some great things about Marvin Mimms. That's good
- 9:15Speaker 3: that he should be.
- 9:16Speaker 6: I mean, I again, the deployment of Marvin Mims has
- 9:19Speaker 6: always been sort of a mystery to us, because he's
- 9:21Speaker 6: made some big plays. He's obviously a guy that we
- 9:25Speaker 6: like on a personal level very well, so we're rooting
- 9:28Speaker 6: for him. But he's a guy that brings an element
- 9:30Speaker 6: or broad an element that nobody else could and still
- 9:34Speaker 6: does for that matter. I mean, so I said, I'm
- 9:37Speaker 6: glad they're maybe they'll deploy.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Him even more.
- 9:39Speaker 4: I've said it all along, even when they signed Jalen
- 9:43Speaker 4: Waddle and they made that happen and Mims sitting there
- 9:45Speaker 4: going what.
- 9:46Speaker 3: What do I do? What?
- 9:48Speaker 4: Why is it so wrong? Why isn't anybody thinking about
- 9:52Speaker 4: the opportunity to use.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Both of them?
- 9:54Speaker 4: Why not in the lineup at the same time. Why
- 9:57Speaker 4: can't you use both of them? There's no rule against it.
- 10:00Speaker 3: So you have two guys sign same body size, same
- 10:03Speaker 3: style of playing.
- 10:03Speaker 6: Right, utilize them. There's nothing wrong with that, I'm totally fine.
- 10:07Speaker 6: Even though they're not Sean Payton's prototypical type of guy.
- 10:11Speaker 6: They can play and they can make plays.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Rash.
- 10:13Speaker 5: I will go back to what I said on Friday.
- 10:15Speaker 2: You guys were long gone by the time I made
- 10:18Speaker 2: this proclamation around two pm on Friday. Bo led the
- 10:22Speaker 2: league in pass attempts last year, and the thought process
- 10:25Speaker 2: going into this offseason was they don't want him to
- 10:27Speaker 2: throw the ball that much. They want to get that
- 10:29Speaker 2: number farther down.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Now.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Is it take the ball completely out of his hands? No,
- 10:34Speaker 2: I just look at Jalen Wattle and Marvin Mims and
- 10:36Speaker 2: what Pat Bryant looks like in the early going, and
- 10:39Speaker 2: Troy Franklin was not utilized as much yesterday, but through
- 10:42Speaker 2: the first two days of practice it was the Troy
- 10:44Speaker 2: Franklin show alongside Courtland Sutton.
- 10:47Speaker 3: I look at all of those.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Weapons that he has at his disposal, and I go,
- 10:51Speaker 2: in what world is he not throwing the football six
- 10:53Speaker 2: hundred times?
- 10:55Speaker 4: He's gonna throw it and he's gonna throw short again,
- 10:58Speaker 4: and you're gonna look at the different this shared that
- 11:00Speaker 4: a short receiver withou speed. Make sorry, I want to
- 11:03Speaker 4: shift attention to the Cleveland Browns training. Oh, and this
- 11:08Speaker 4: is a story that's in the athletic The biggest lesson
- 11:11Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns learned from last season had nothing to
- 11:14Speaker 4: do with on field performance and everything to do with
- 11:17Speaker 4: off field. The Browns never properly bent the knee to
- 11:21Speaker 4: Dion Sanders and his legion of fans last year after
- 11:24Speaker 4: selecting Shador Sanders in the NFL Draft. They've spent the
- 11:27Speaker 4: past seven months trying to rectify that oversight. In fact,
- 11:32Speaker 4: shortly after Todd Monkin was introduced as the head coach,
- 11:35Speaker 4: one of the first orders of business was rushing out
- 11:38Speaker 4: a social media eclip of Monkin welcoming Chadeur to his office.
- 11:43Speaker 4: And just this week, last week, they welcomed Dion Sanders
- 11:47Speaker 4: to practice. He was there outstretching. So it's a completely
- 11:50Speaker 4: different approach now to the Sanders family as a year ago.
- 11:54Speaker 4: A year ago was just arms length your quarterback, year player.
- 12:00Speaker 4: We don't care who you are, what family you're from.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Let's see what you can do this year. Completely different.
- 12:05Speaker 5: What's changed from last year to this year? Coach, that's
- 12:08Speaker 5: exactly coach, brand new coach.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Yeah, the coach last year, the coach last year was
- 12:13Speaker 3: sort of a jerk about it.
- 12:15Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know why.
- 12:16Speaker 3: You remember absolutely remember a player.
- 12:19Speaker 5: Who very clearly struggles.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean he didn't have to be He
- 12:24Speaker 4: just didn't have to be a jerk about it. And
- 12:25Speaker 4: I think we could all agree there were times you're like, dude,
- 12:27Speaker 4: I mean, what are you doing here?
- 12:29Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 12:29Speaker 2: Yeah, but how far is that going to go for them?
- 12:31Speaker 2: When Shador is a backup quarterback to Deshaun Watson.
- 12:35Speaker 3: It's just it's okay, Well, it would be like, I'll
- 12:38Speaker 3: give you an example.
- 12:38Speaker 4: If Peyton Manning's son Marshall was in Broncos camp and
- 12:41Speaker 4: you're the head coach, are you gonna be a jerk
- 12:43Speaker 4: about it?
- 12:43Speaker 3: Or you're going to welcome Peyton Manning to your camp?
- 12:46Speaker 4: Are you gonna welcome Peyton Manning and in the ensemble
- 12:48Speaker 4: of Manning's and say, hey, we you know you're You're
- 12:51Speaker 4: welcome here anytime?
- 12:51Speaker 3: Are you going to be the standoffish.
- 12:54Speaker 6: As Kevin Kevin Stefanski was standoffish, slightly different Peyton played
- 13:02Speaker 6: football here.
- 13:04Speaker 4: He says that a different it says Jacksonville. Then I
- 13:07Speaker 4: mean it doesn't matter. I mean the point is, you know,
- 13:10Speaker 4: Dion Sanders. Say what you want of him. He's he's
- 13:12Speaker 4: football royalty.
- 13:13Speaker 2: He is, but there is no there's no loyalty from God.
- 13:16Speaker 2: But wind to have to show Dion Sanders just like
- 13:19Speaker 2: if he was Peyton Manning and Jacksonville with his nephew
- 13:23Speaker 2: or his son playing quarterback. There's no reason why Jacksonville
- 13:26Speaker 2: should have to roll out the al carpet for someone
- 13:28Speaker 2: who has no physical connection to that.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Franch Alex, you're missing the point.
- 13:32Speaker 5: I'm not at all. Let me explain. We've all backup quarterback.
- 13:38Speaker 6: We've all been around guys when you go you know
- 13:41Speaker 6: that guy, that guy's an a hole.
- 13:44Speaker 3: For No, he doesn't have to be that way. Why
- 13:46Speaker 3: is that guy the way he is?
- 13:48Speaker 6: That's the that That was basically the relationship last year
- 13:51Speaker 6: between Stefanski and Prime. I'm not saying roll out red carpet.
- 13:55Speaker 6: I'm not saying welcome with open arms like, oh thank
- 13:58Speaker 6: god you're here.
- 13:59Speaker 3: That's what the article is.
- 13:59Speaker 6: Say no, no, but he they went out of their
- 14:02Speaker 6: way to exclude is what they did.
- 14:04Speaker 8: Did.
- 14:05Speaker 6: That's that's that's the difference between Stefanski and Monkin. That
- 14:09Speaker 6: it's not like you have to to you know, marry
- 14:12Speaker 6: be married to the guy.
- 14:13Speaker 4: At the end of the day made the best quarterback win.
- 14:15Speaker 4: They're not getting the job to him because of his name,
- 14:18Speaker 4: but they're at least being understanding that, hey, this this
- 14:22Speaker 4: is a little different than the normal case.
- 14:24Speaker 3: It just is.
- 14:25Speaker 5: And I would understand if he was on a trajectory
- 14:28Speaker 5: to be a true long term starting.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Well, how do you know he's how do you know
- 14:31Speaker 3: he's not. He's still a pup.
- 14:32Speaker 5: He's still a pup. But last year it did not
- 14:34Speaker 5: look good.
- 14:34Speaker 3: Man.
- 14:35Speaker 2: There were times where he flashed for many more times
- 14:37Speaker 2: where he was running around with a chicken or like
- 14:40Speaker 2: a chicken rather with his head cut off. Man, Well,
- 14:43Speaker 2: you have to go out of your way to welcome this,
- 14:46Speaker 2: this Sanders circus for a backup quarterback.
- 14:50Speaker 3: There's no circus. He's just there saying Hi.
- 14:53Speaker 6: There's not He's not gonna run the damn organization or
- 14:55Speaker 6: be around all the time. He's got his own job.
- 14:58Speaker 6: They just they just went out of their way to
- 15:00Speaker 6: flu last year. This year it's a different story.
- 15:03Speaker 3: I don't know. Man.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Again, if I'm the if I'm the Jaguars, if I'm
- 15:07Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and the Manning situation happens. This, this fantasy
- 15:11Speaker 2: Manning situation happens. I'm not going out of my way
- 15:14Speaker 2: to welcome the Manning family for a kid who isn't

- 15:41Speaker 2: how are you this morning?
- 15:42Speaker 3: Man?
- 15:43Speaker 9: Gentlemen, Nice to be back with you.
- 15:44Speaker 6: Here we go again, right, yeah, there we go. It's
- 15:46Speaker 6: great to see hey, Adam. I was just thinking about
- 15:49Speaker 6: this in your career, hey day. The days of the
- 15:53Speaker 6: smile and moose are gone, buddy, I mean, those are
- 15:56Speaker 6: absolutely history. Have you seen anything progress more than the
- 16:01Speaker 6: efficiency and the I guess professionalism of an NFL training
- 16:06Speaker 6: camp in the last thirty years.
- 16:09Speaker 10: Well, it's not the same.
- 16:10Speaker 11: It's not as physical, it's not as taxing like It
- 16:13Speaker 11: used to be that there were two practices every day
- 16:16Speaker 11: and guys would would pound on each other like I mean,
- 16:19Speaker 11: it was. It was very physical. Now there's a ramp
- 16:22Speaker 11: up period. You're in camp for a week before there's pads.
- 16:25Speaker 9: You know, I know, pads.
- 16:27Speaker 10: It's still pads, but it's not the same that I
- 16:29Speaker 10: remember back in the day.
- 16:31Speaker 11: I haven't heard the name of Smiling Moose in a
- 16:32Speaker 11: long time. That takes me down memory. Is this Smiling
- 16:37Speaker 11: Moose still there?
- 16:38Speaker 3: It's gone? You know?
- 16:39Speaker 4: But but Adam, those are the days where a member
- 16:42Speaker 4: of the media can actually sidle up to a player
- 16:45Speaker 4: at a place during camp.
- 16:46Speaker 6: Me.
- 16:46Speaker 3: You don't. It doesn't happen today. It's just there's that.
- 16:49Speaker 3: There's no way that happens today.
- 16:52Speaker 9: Let me just say this to you. One of the great.
- 16:57Speaker 11: Fortunes, honors, privileges, learning experience in my career, whatever you
- 17:02Speaker 11: want to call it, was when I started covering the
- 17:05Speaker 11: Denver Broncos in nineteen ninety and I spent almost sixteen
- 17:08Speaker 11: years covering them, and when they trained in Greeley, Colorado,
- 17:13Speaker 11: and I go up there every summer. I stay in
- 17:14Speaker 11: the same dorm room and my phone number up there
- 17:17Speaker 11: was nine seven oh three five four two.
- 17:19Speaker 9: It was a rotary dial phone.
- 17:22Speaker 11: I was in there for fifteen years or fourteen years
- 17:24Speaker 11: before they moved back to and I would have as
- 17:28Speaker 11: you remember, we would have breakfast, lunch, and dinner in
- 17:34Speaker 11: the dining.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Hall with the players, yep, players, every meal, every meal.
- 17:39Speaker 10: Remember I remember walking in for breakfast and.
- 17:43Speaker 11: It's always the most lightly attended meal, but there'd be
- 17:47Speaker 11: ten of us, twelve us, and I'd be sitting a
- 17:49Speaker 11: couple of table lord from John Oh who was always
- 17:51Speaker 11: readden the paper.
- 17:52Speaker 10: He was always one of the last people.
- 17:53Speaker 11: And I always tried to go to breakfast late so
- 17:55Speaker 11: I can always see John like the acts was unbelievable.
- 18:02Speaker 4: And if they didn't like something you wrote or said,
- 18:06Speaker 4: you can discuss it, you could talk about it.
- 18:08Speaker 3: It would be those discussions. It would take place all
- 18:10Speaker 3: the time.
- 18:11Speaker 11: Well, you develop relationships because you're with them three meals
- 18:15Speaker 11: a day. You're at both practices. You're just around and
- 18:21Speaker 11: it's not like you know, you're spending a ton of time,
- 18:24Speaker 11: but you're all You're a presence there, and so I
- 18:28Speaker 11: just think it's very different today. It's why I always
- 18:30Speaker 11: tell people I got my undergraduate degree at Michigan, I
- 18:34Speaker 11: got my graduate degree at Northwestern, I got my master's
- 18:37Speaker 11: at Denver broncos You because fifteen years being around these
- 18:40Speaker 11: people at all times was it was transformational for me.
- 18:45Speaker 11: And that type of opportunity sadly doesn't exist today.
- 18:49Speaker 9: I don't think you tell me I'm not really out
- 18:51Speaker 9: of drinking much.
- 18:52Speaker 3: It doesn't exist.
- 18:53Speaker 4: It's going They keep the players as distanced as far
- 18:57Speaker 4: away as as possible, and you know, especially as you
- 19:01Speaker 4: well know, Sean Payton likes to run the camp his way,
- 19:03Speaker 4: and there's just they don't see any value.
- 19:05Speaker 3: In that anymore.
- 19:07Speaker 10: Correct.
- 19:07Speaker 11: Yeah, they don't need it. They don't need it, so
- 19:11Speaker 11: and they want to keep they want to control it
- 19:13Speaker 11: and have things on their schedule and and there are
- 19:16Speaker 11: rules that they have to abide by, which they do.
- 19:18Speaker 9: But that's all they have to do.
- 19:20Speaker 5: Without that ability to like belly up to the bar
- 19:22Speaker 5: with the player, like you were talking about going late
- 19:25Speaker 5: and having a chat with John Elway, how do you
- 19:27Speaker 5: personally cultivate those relationships now?
- 19:29Speaker 3: Then?
- 19:31Speaker 11: Uh, well, I'm at a different stage of my career
- 19:34Speaker 11: right like, so you know the people that I'm talking to,
- 19:40Speaker 11: you know, front offices, coaches, I'm just texting them like
- 19:43Speaker 11: I'm on the phone day that I've known them for years.
- 19:46Speaker 11: That's again, it's a blessing for covering the spot for
- 19:51Speaker 11: thirty seven years that you could, you know, reach out
- 19:56Speaker 11: to various people and get them like that.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Right, you bet well? You got the b Jon Robinson
- 20:02Speaker 4: story this morning. The highest paid running back in NFL history. Now,
- 20:06Speaker 4: were you a little surprised over three years, seventy five million?
- 20:11Speaker 11: No? No, I think that that was exactly where you
- 20:15Speaker 11: thought it was going to come in. And it becomes
- 20:19Speaker 11: a road mark and a benchmark for Jamior Gibbs and
- 20:23Speaker 11: Jonathan Taylor, and you know, it's about time that running
- 20:26Speaker 11: back salaries go up and he's the new highest peak
- 20:29Speaker 11: and that's how it should be, you know, Adam.
- 20:31Speaker 6: That's a great that's a great point though. So now
- 20:34Speaker 6: these other guys are going to slot into place, although
- 20:36Speaker 6: maybe Jamiir's is not bijeon. But what, in your opinion,
- 20:41Speaker 6: do teams just follow the market that's now been set.
- 20:44Speaker 6: I know agents certainly do, or do teams? Is it
- 20:48Speaker 6: really rare now for them just to hold tough on
- 20:50Speaker 6: the number that they want to offer and that's it?
- 20:52Speaker 6: How does that work nowadays when you have a market
- 20:54Speaker 6: set like Bijeon.
- 20:56Speaker 11: Well, I think that's what is holding up the Gibbs
- 21:02Speaker 11: deal basically and the Johnson tell deal because they knew
- 21:06Speaker 11: that they knew that jon would come in probably with
- 21:12Speaker 11: the highest one, and and so they I think Gibbs
- 21:16Speaker 11: and Taylor were both waiting for this deal to get done.
- 21:19Speaker 11: And now they'll get as close to that deal as possible.
- 21:22Speaker 11: And now maybe they could even beat it. I don't
- 21:24Speaker 11: know like the way you structure it, but if if
- 21:27Speaker 11: they beat it, and I would bet they they're right there,
- 21:30Speaker 11: but I'll bet they don't.
- 21:31Speaker 9: Like I'll bet all three deals.
- 21:32Speaker 11: Coming very soon, that's what it'll be. And so Gibbs
- 21:36Speaker 11: was gonna be the I mean, Jean was gonna.
- 21:38Speaker 9: Be the first one that Gibbs and Jonathan Steler.
- 21:45Speaker 2: The next big contract that we've been talking about, whether
- 21:48Speaker 2: it's Riley Moss possibly playing his way out of Denver
- 21:51Speaker 2: because they're up against the cap next year.
- 21:53Speaker 5: They have to roll a whole bunch of things over.
- 21:55Speaker 2: The obvious one is bo Nicks when he's off of
- 21:58Speaker 2: his rookie extension. What does he have to do to
- 22:02Speaker 2: get people on board with him being a fifty five
- 22:05Speaker 2: possibly sixty million dollars quarterback.
- 22:08Speaker 9: Well, here's the deal.
- 22:10Speaker 11: He's not contract eligible till after this year. So if
- 22:14Speaker 11: the Denver Broncers have the kind of year that everybody's
- 22:17Speaker 11: gonna want them to have, I'd be surprised if they
- 22:21Speaker 11: didn't sit down to see if they could work out
- 22:23Speaker 11: a deal Like that's what.
- 22:25Speaker 9: It's gonna be.
- 22:26Speaker 11: Now, tell me what the year looks like for bow
- 22:28Speaker 11: Is he a top five quarterback? Is he a top
- 22:30Speaker 11: ten quarterback? Top fifty? Do they get to the conference
- 22:34Speaker 11: championship game? Do they get to the Super Bowl? Do
- 22:36Speaker 11: they tell me what all those things are, because they'll
- 22:39Speaker 11: all play a role in how aggressive Denver will be
- 22:43Speaker 11: and what that deal will come in at. I think,
- 22:45Speaker 11: I think, and if he has a great year, I
- 22:48Speaker 11: would think that they'll rush to get it done in
- 22:50Speaker 11: the off season if the deal, if the years down there,
- 22:53Speaker 11: there's no urgency there in the off season. So there's
- 22:56Speaker 11: so many variables that are tied up into his and
- 22:58Speaker 11: their season. That's why it's a really important year for Bonnicks.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Can I ask you a media question pertaining to Sean Payton,
- 23:07Speaker 3: Adam So, I'm sure You've read the Seth Wickersham piece,
- 23:10Speaker 3: which was Wow, was it long and was it detailed?
- 23:14Speaker 3: And it was wonderful.
- 23:15Speaker 4: And as I'm reading this and it's happening all during
- 23:18Speaker 4: the AFC Championship week, and there's.
- 23:20Speaker 3: A lot of secrets that I'm like, Wow, I can't
- 23:22Speaker 3: believe he admitted that. I can't believe he said that.
- 23:25Speaker 3: My question to you is, what do you think.
- 23:26Speaker 4: The motivation was for Sean Payton to do that piece,
- 23:29Speaker 4: to invite a writer embed him here for two weeks.
- 23:35Speaker 10: Uh.
- 23:38Speaker 11: Sean obviously could best answer that question, but my guess
- 23:42Speaker 11: would be I think sometimes Sean just likes having somebody
- 23:47Speaker 11: as like a built in sounding board slash therapist slash
- 23:51Speaker 11: advice just like it, not like a fresh new voice.
- 23:55Speaker 11: And I think it has something to do with that.
- 24:02Speaker 11: I think it has something to do with the fact that,
- 24:04Speaker 11: you know, he believed in this team and he believe
- 24:06Speaker 11: it's gonna be a magical year, and how cool would
- 24:07Speaker 11: it have been to have it documented. I believe he's
- 24:14Speaker 11: proud of the work that they put in. I mean,
- 24:16Speaker 11: I have a lot of things, but I do think
- 24:18Speaker 11: it's it's as much having just somebody to kind of
- 24:22Speaker 11: talk to like stung can be like that, you know,
- 24:24Speaker 11: like he he he'll kind of connect to somebody and
- 24:31Speaker 11: you hear from him quite a bit.
- 24:32Speaker 9: You have a lot of conversations, you know. So, uh,
- 24:35Speaker 9: he just.
- 24:36Speaker 10: Kind of imported it to Denver.
- 24:38Speaker 11: It was in the building. Guy was always around as
- 24:40Speaker 11: a sounding board some version of that.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Vic I would say, yeah, that makes a lot of
- 24:47Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense.
- 24:48Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I mean I I just found it interesting
- 24:52Speaker 4: and and and my answer would be I think he
- 24:55Speaker 4: expected and the invite was probably before bo Nick's got hurt.
- 24:58Speaker 4: I think he expected this team to go to the
- 25:00Speaker 4: super Bowl. And I agree with you. I think he
- 25:02Speaker 4: wanted that documented and it didn't work out that way.
- 25:04Speaker 4: And hey, listen, the other thing I've said about Peyton
- 25:08Speaker 4: Sean Payton in the past.
- 25:09Speaker 3: He don't like his players talking in the media. He
- 25:11Speaker 3: don't like any of that.
- 25:12Speaker 4: He'll do that, he'll take on that role. He'll be
- 25:16Speaker 4: the uh, he'll be the guy that uh uh. You know,
- 25:19Speaker 4: every year it seems he says something that becomes topical.
- 25:23Speaker 4: But he'd rather be him than the players themselves.
- 25:26Speaker 11: Well, and and let's be honest, he is a very
- 25:30Speaker 11: charismatic talker, like you could listen to him for hours,
- 25:32Speaker 11: Like he's very insightful and educating. There are certain guys,
- 25:35Speaker 11: there are certain head coaches who say nothing, nothing, Like
- 25:38Speaker 11: you could listen to their press concises and there's just
- 25:40Speaker 11: not a lot of meat there.
- 25:41Speaker 9: Like Mike Shanahan was like that.
- 25:43Speaker 11: Like Mike was brilliant, but his press conciss they were
- 25:48Speaker 11: they were bland.
- 25:50Speaker 9: Kyle, on the other.
- 25:52Speaker 11: Hand, is incredible, incredible, Like if you read his transcripts
- 25:57Speaker 11: and listen to us, it's like football tos and shown
- 26:01Speaker 11: is the same way.
- 26:03Speaker 4: By the way, Adam, I saw a photo of Kyle's
- 26:07Speaker 4: face after that accident, and my goodness, Uh that has
- 26:12Speaker 4: he been back at practice yet?
- 26:14Speaker 3: Is he? When is he expected back?
- 26:16Speaker 11: I've been doing things slowly but surely, wrapping up. Yeah,
- 26:21Speaker 11: he's he's feeling a little bit better. He's still got headaches,
- 26:24Speaker 11: but he's doing a little bit better.
- 26:27Speaker 3: That was ugly.
- 26:29Speaker 10: Wait, wait, where gets see a picture of his face?
- 26:33Speaker 3: I saw it. I saw it.
- 26:34Speaker 5: I haven't seen one yet.
- 26:35Speaker 4: No, it's not public, it's not public. No, it's not
- 26:38Speaker 4: out there orbital. No, it's you know, it's bad. It's bad.
- 26:42Speaker 3: I mean I mean, you could tell it's a Sylvester
- 26:45Speaker 3: Stallone Rocky three bad one of those, one of those deals.
- 26:49Speaker 4: So I'm just happy that he survived that thing and
- 26:52Speaker 4: he's back to coaching, and it's a it's a major
- 26:54Speaker 4: scare for him. And hey, before we let you go,
- 26:57Speaker 4: Aaron Donald, any doubt in your mind that he's gonna
- 27:00Speaker 4: football for the Rams.
- 27:01Speaker 9: You know, it's funny.
- 27:02Speaker 11: I talked about this in my podcast I just recorded
- 27:04Speaker 11: about an hour ago, and I would say that we
- 27:09Speaker 11: all certainly feel like it's trending that way. And when
- 27:12Speaker 11: Sean McVay says it's heading the right direction and trending upward,
- 27:18Speaker 11: I think you take note.
- 27:20Speaker 9: Yeah, But what I do not think it is done.
- 27:25Speaker 11: I do not think it's official. I do not think
- 27:27Speaker 11: there's anything you've read upon. And I do think it's
- 27:30Speaker 11: contingent upon Aaron Donald believing that Aaron Donald can get
- 27:33Speaker 11: himself back to Aaron Donald form, and if he feels
- 27:37Speaker 11: like he can't do that, he's not going to come back.
- 27:41Speaker 10: But obviously he's trying to do that and he's hoping.
- 27:46Speaker 11: To do that, but he's not there yet, and I
- 27:49Speaker 11: think everybody believes he'll get there, and everybody wants him
- 27:52Speaker 11: to get there, but it's not there just yet.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Another question around the league, Adam Vidave Baker Mayfield. Who
- 28:01Speaker 2: has the better chance to get a deal done to
- 28:03Speaker 2: stay in Tampa Bay or both of them kind of
- 28:06Speaker 2: in their final season or final training camp with the Bucks.
- 28:10Speaker 9: Another topic on the podcast. But what I would say.
- 28:12Speaker 11: Is is I don't see I don't see a Vita
- 28:18Speaker 11: deal getting done here shortly.
- 28:20Speaker 9: I do not see that.
- 28:23Speaker 10: Baker shut it down. So we'll see, but they have
- 28:28Speaker 10: the franchise tag.
- 28:30Speaker 11: I don't see anything happening with Via anytime soon. I
- 28:32Speaker 11: think a tree could come to play later in camp.
- 28:34Speaker 9: Wow.
- 28:35Speaker 2: That is ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter joining us
- 28:39Speaker 2: weekly here on Altitude Sports Radio ninety two five. Chefty,

- 28:50Speaker 2: Guest Hotline live out here at Broncos Park. The sun
- 28:53Speaker 2: is trying to peek out as we thaw out from
- 28:56Speaker 2: our morning freeze. Yeah, Vitavey and Baker Bay Mayfield Bull
- 29:00Speaker 2: shutting down contract.
- 29:01Speaker 6: That Hey man, Tampa, you're blowing it well they I mean,
- 29:06Speaker 6: I don't know if they're blowing it.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Are they just blowing it up right? Like Mike Evans
- 29:10Speaker 2: Leaves and Baker they feel like they've gotten the juice
- 29:13Speaker 2: out of that squeeze.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Maybe that's why they don't want to pay him, because
- 29:16Speaker 4: they figure, let's just start off three.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Second, completely wipe the slate cleaning like again, I think
- 29:21Speaker 2: would look awesome here in a Broncos uniform, but they
- 29:23Speaker 2: just simply can't fit him.
- 29:25Speaker 4: It's just it accordd weird to me, the losing his
- 29:27Speaker 4: franchise in NFL history, finally find some success. I mean,
- 29:32Speaker 4: Tom Brady goes there, they go to Super Bowl, win
- 29:34Speaker 4: a super Bowl, Baker Mayfield gives him life, and now
- 29:36Speaker 4: they want to quit.

- 30:45Speaker 2: The Broncos out here ahead of practice, Evan Ingram walking
- 30:48Speaker 2: his uh normal barefoot steps through the five yard line
- 30:52Speaker 2: right in front of us. Our training camp coverage brought

- 30:57Speaker 2: Back in three minutes, wrapping things up here from bron

- 31:04Speaker 2: Camp show with d mac plumbus coach Mike Sanford and
- 31:09Speaker 2: Scottie Hastings. Coming up from ten to two. RAJ film
- 31:12Speaker 2: in for Kaner all week longest alongside Vic and moj Fellas.
- 31:16Speaker 2: We have a new Burnham Yard sight layout as of
- 31:20Speaker 2: about thirty minutes ago.
- 31:22Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you go to Denver Broncos dot com,
- 31:24Speaker 4: it's even deeper detail about what they plan on doing.
- 31:28Speaker 4: We have no real summation of the stadium itself that
- 31:32Speaker 4: they don't have any renderings of the stadium, but the
- 31:35Speaker 4: renderings they have just produced and this is within the
- 31:38Speaker 4: last hour of the community around the stadium. And this
- 31:43Speaker 4: is in light of what Demani Leech said on Saturday.
- 31:46Speaker 4: They're trying to, you know, push this through in a hurry.
- 31:49Speaker 4: They want to get going. Look at some of these drawings,
- 31:53Speaker 4: the detail of the stuff around the stadium itself, it's
- 31:59Speaker 4: very details. Eighth Avenue is going away. Well, they're gonna
- 32:03Speaker 4: reroute it. Well, I mean they're gonna it. Looks like
- 32:05Speaker 4: bridge is gone.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna put it.
- 32:07Speaker 6: They're gonna put it somehow through the middle of this
- 32:10Speaker 6: development with turntable and South end and blah blah blah
- 32:14Speaker 6: blah blah.
- 32:14Speaker 3: So you could probably.
- 32:15Speaker 6: Still drive through there, but Eighth Avenue the way what
- 32:19Speaker 6: you know of eighth Avenue right now, it's goes.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Some of these renderings. Man, it's so very clear that
- 32:25Speaker 2: they've used AI to do some of them.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Look at the.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Mile high line rendering. Do you see something that's wrong
- 32:30Speaker 2: here about the joggers.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Uh, they're running into each other.
- 32:33Speaker 5: They're actively running in the middle of an RTD line.
- 32:38Speaker 5: Some of those wackos do that.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Some of them will do that. They're gonna turn like the.
- 32:44Speaker 4: Whole Burnham Yard area around the stadium into your unique
- 32:49Speaker 4: neighborhoods and zones, Like everyone's got a zone that they're
- 32:53Speaker 4: gonna be.
- 32:53Speaker 6: In, Village Center, North and South End, Turntable blah blah
- 32:57Speaker 6: blah blah blah.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Okay, that's all fine and dan, we know that new
- 33:01Speaker 2: stadiums come with new stadium districts.
- 33:03Speaker 5: It's just the way of the world.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Now, my question is, I know that the city had
- 33:09Speaker 2: the mandate of no parking.
- 33:11Speaker 5: They're getting rid of tailgating.
- 33:12Speaker 4: There's not this mass Well, that's not a mandate, it's
- 33:14Speaker 4: just that they want they want to push transportation via train.
- 33:19Speaker 5: The heck am I supposed to park if I'm not
- 33:20Speaker 5: going by train?
- 33:21Speaker 4: Here's the question I have here's the question I have,
- 33:23Speaker 4: and I've heard people mention this before. I understand. I
- 33:28Speaker 4: understand because the ball Arena redevelopment projects doing the same thing.
- 33:32Speaker 4: They want people taking public transportation to these games. And
- 33:35Speaker 4: the parking is still there, but a lot of it
- 33:37Speaker 4: will be underground. Mind you, it's not gonna be surface parking.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Cool.
- 33:41Speaker 4: I'm looking at the renderings here of Burnham Yard and
- 33:44Speaker 4: the parking lots are tiny compared to what we see
- 33:47Speaker 4: now at Mile High Stadium. So you're not gonna have
- 33:50Speaker 4: the same availability for tailgating.
- 33:53Speaker 3: But there will be some. I mean, there still are
- 33:55Speaker 3: parking lots there.
- 33:56Speaker 4: There just won't. You're gonna have areas to tailgate, you
- 33:59Speaker 4: just gotta. I'm gonna have cars in those areas. You're
- 34:01Speaker 4: gonna have to find different ways to tailgate. Right, Here's
- 34:04Speaker 4: a question I have.
- 34:05Speaker 6: If a lot of neighborhood out there, man, missus Smith's
- 34:08Speaker 6: front yard sounds pretty good. If she wants to charge,
- 34:10Speaker 6: you know, twenty bucks ahead, I don't know.
- 34:12Speaker 5: But here's my the hold out there.
- 34:14Speaker 4: So if everyone is going to push this, h take
- 34:17Speaker 4: the training approach, which is great, you know, I mean,
- 34:20Speaker 4: you know, I've been to Manhattan. I love taking this something.
- 34:23Speaker 4: It's easy, it's it's great, it's awesome. But I want
- 34:26Speaker 4: to ask you, though, on a game day, there's seventy
- 34:30Speaker 4: eight thousand people that go to a game. How the
- 34:32Speaker 4: hell are you gonna put seventy thousand people on the
- 34:34Speaker 4: train and get them there on time?
- 34:37Speaker 3: You're not let me let me, let me want to
- 34:40Speaker 3: tell you about this train. I'm not gonna talk to
- 34:42Speaker 3: you about this train.
- 34:43Speaker 6: Yeah, remember when the train broke down some time ago
- 34:46Speaker 6: and it was doing like ten miles per hour and
- 34:48Speaker 6: all this kind of thing. Hey, man, if you want
- 34:50Speaker 6: us to use public transportation and you're you're trying to
- 34:53Speaker 6: force that issue, you better make it good. Okay, you
- 34:59Speaker 6: better not better not slow down to ten because of
- 35:01Speaker 6: a broken switch or what I mean. You better be
- 35:03Speaker 6: on the ball RTD you it better be good.
- 35:08Speaker 3: And I'm all for it.
- 35:09Speaker 6: I take the train from Parker downtown plenty plenty, and
- 35:15Speaker 6: let me tell you something.
- 35:16Speaker 5: Why don't you do it for your next game down there?
- 35:17Speaker 5: How's that?
- 35:18Speaker 3: Well, that's that's hard to be a chance he would
- 35:20Speaker 3: do that? Well, that's hard.
- 35:21Speaker 6: That's that's more difficult because my time is more valuable
- 35:24Speaker 6: than being on the train. But that being said, I
- 35:26Speaker 6: take it down for shows, concerts, dinners. I use that
- 35:30Speaker 6: train plenty, bro, and most of the time I have
- 35:34Speaker 6: a good experience. Most sometimes you know, things break down,
- 35:39Speaker 6: you're waiting. It's all this kind of crap. Not to
- 35:41Speaker 6: mention it takes over an hour to get from my
- 35:44Speaker 6: station down to ball Arena, well over an hour. So
- 35:48Speaker 6: it's like, you better make it convenient for people if
- 35:51Speaker 6: you want to try and force it, otherwise you have
- 35:53Speaker 6: a big mess of problems on your hands. I'm all
- 35:56Speaker 6: for public transpo, man. I wish we had trains and
- 35:58Speaker 6: subways running all over the place.
- 35:59Speaker 3: Vic. I'm just like you. I don't mind taking the
- 36:01Speaker 3: trade at all. But a better word. So, according to
- 36:03Speaker 3: this as I'm reading more detail, and there's a lot
- 36:05Speaker 3: of detail in these plans right now, they're in communications
- 36:09Speaker 3: and engagement with the community. That's where they're standing right now.
- 36:11Speaker 3: They want to hurry up that process because they got
- 36:13Speaker 3: to get to design, and then after design and they
- 36:16Speaker 3: get the agreement, construction according to this plan here will
- 36:19Speaker 3: begin at the beginning or at the end of quarter
- 36:23Speaker 3: two in twenty twenty seven. That's quarter two twenty twenty
- 36:26Speaker 3: seven quarter three.
- 36:27Speaker 4: So basically a year from now, a year from now,
- 36:30Speaker 4: there'll be you know, shovels in the ground and construction
- 36:32Speaker 4: will be gaining.
- 36:33Speaker 3: They'll be pushing dirt. Yeah yeah. So if this all.
- 36:36Speaker 5: Goes to schedule going into the final year of Sean
- 36:39Speaker 5: Payton's contract, is brand new stadium.
- 36:42Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
- 36:42Speaker 4: I mean, if things are on time, and things are
- 36:45Speaker 4: always delayed. Remember when they did so Fi. Remember what
- 36:48Speaker 4: delayed so Fi for a year? Remember the head those
- 36:51Speaker 4: massive floods in La and the hole was full of water, yep,
- 36:55Speaker 4: and it took them a year to get the water
- 36:56Speaker 4: out of there.
- 36:57Speaker 2: You think it's delayed, but they got this thing done
- 36:59Speaker 2: ahead of Skale.
- 37:00Speaker 4: It's a different story down there, brother. I mean, you're
- 37:02Speaker 4: out here in a Rapahoe County and you own this land.
- 37:04Speaker 4: This is your land. A much easier thing to work
- 37:08Speaker 4: with than look at the chaos that is the Burnham
- 37:11Speaker 4: Yard area and all the roadways and all the ins
- 37:14Speaker 4: and outs that's gonna that's a major puzzle to solve
- 37:17Speaker 4: down there.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Again, you still have to.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Move the water facility Denver Water still got to come
- 37:23Speaker 4: to terms with that, that cement shop. Whatever, you gotta
- 37:27Speaker 4: Reroute Eighth Avenue Viaduct. There's a lot of work to
- 37:29Speaker 4: be done there and it will come with problems.
- 37:32Speaker 2: We'll talk about holdouts. You guys are golf guys. Whistling
- 37:35Speaker 2: Streets which held the Ryder Cup a couple of sessions
- 37:37Speaker 2: ago and a PGA championship back in twenty fifteen. There
- 37:40Speaker 2: is a swath of trees in the middle of the
- 37:43Speaker 2: eighteenth and the ninth fairways at Whistling Streets in Wisconsin.
- 37:48Speaker 2: There's a cabin in the middle of those trees. There's
- 37:50Speaker 2: a reason why they haven't been mowed down. One dude
- 37:53Speaker 2: held out and is still holding out and owns that property.
- 37:57Speaker 2: He walks through that course every single day. He brings
- 38:00Speaker 2: groceries to and from one of the best courses in
- 38:02Speaker 2: the country, Kney, and still hasn't sold it. And you'll
- 38:06Speaker 2: have you'll have concrete companies that are holding out for
- 38:09Speaker 2: whatever extra dollar they possibly can. I guess my next
- 38:12Speaker 2: question is, with as sprawling and as beautiful as these
- 38:16Speaker 2: renderings are of the surrounding area, does that make you
- 38:19Speaker 2: a little bit more comfortable with Well, if it's financed
- 38:22Speaker 2: by the ownership group and the state isn't paying for
- 38:25Speaker 2: this and the people aren't paying for this does make
- 38:28Speaker 2: you more comfortable.
- 38:28Speaker 5: With the personal seating license issue.
- 38:31Speaker 4: Movie Well, I'm not a season ticket older, so yeah,
- 38:34Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't worry me. But there are people
- 38:36Speaker 4: listening to the show that are so who wants to
- 38:39Speaker 4: fot the bill? Who wants to pay an extra ten
- 38:41Speaker 4: to twenty grand per ticket or for four tickets if
- 38:43Speaker 4: they don't have to. I mean, obviously it concerns them.
- 38:46Speaker 4: But the point I made yesterday is there's such a
- 38:49Speaker 4: long line of Bronco fans waiting for Broncos tickets. If
- 38:53Speaker 4: they don't pay, somebody else will. And that is the
- 38:57Speaker 4: heavy truth. There's no other way, and I think the Broncos.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Know that either way.
- 39:04Speaker 6: Let me say this, there's nobody advocating to keep Burnham
- 39:08Speaker 6: Yard the way it is anymore, right, vic. I mean,
- 39:10Speaker 6: if you've been there, and I've been there on more
- 39:13Speaker 6: than one occasion, Raj, it's dead land. It's dead, it's
- 39:19Speaker 6: weeds and broken concrete and junk.
- 39:21Speaker 5: It's a perfect spot for them.
- 39:22Speaker 3: Absolutely it is.
- 39:24Speaker 6: When you look at this and you look at what's
- 39:25Speaker 6: gonna happen at Ball Arena, you talk about economic viability
- 39:30Speaker 6: for this city.
- 39:31Speaker 3: This is huge. The city does nothing but benefit fro Qus.
- 39:36Speaker 3: I want someone believe I need someone to answer. Is
- 39:39Speaker 3: this our last segment? This is it? Okay? Two minutes?
- 39:42Speaker 3: All right?
- 39:42Speaker 4: I need somebody to answer a question. And and Dmax
- 39:45Speaker 4: here he takes a train a lot. Maybe Dmac can
- 39:47Speaker 4: help answer this question. I remember at the super Bowl
- 39:51Speaker 4: in New York City, super Bowl forty eight, the biggest
- 39:55Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about it in Broglio, the biggest
- 39:58Speaker 4: issue at that super Bowl. After the game ended, everybody
- 40:01Speaker 4: jumped on the trains outside that stadium and no one
- 40:04Speaker 4: could get out. So someone explained to me, if the
- 40:07Speaker 4: train is going to be the number one source of
- 40:10Speaker 4: transportation to this new stadium and there are seventy eight
- 40:13Speaker 4: thousand people that attend Bronco games, how in the hell
- 40:16Speaker 4: are you gonna get people in and out of that?
- 40:19Speaker 12: It's so funny. I was just thinking on my cliffs.
- 40:20Speaker 12: I go one light rail stop, huh And what I
- 40:23Speaker 12: was looking at are yeah, yeah, yeah, he goes a
- 40:27Speaker 12: five years though.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Whatever. Let me let me God, dang it, do you
- 40:31Speaker 3: know how mean.
- 40:34Speaker 6: That?
- 40:34Speaker 3: Right? Mac? I ride the train.
- 40:37Speaker 6: I've got first hand knowledge about all of this.
- 40:40Speaker 3: I ride that moth.
- 40:42Speaker 6: I know the engine, the outs, I know the good
- 40:44Speaker 6: and the bad, and most of the time I have
- 40:46Speaker 6: a good, good experience. But when I have a bad one,
- 40:49Speaker 6: I am flaming pissed on that train. I've gotten off
- 40:52Speaker 6: the train and taken ubers from different stops because I
- 40:55Speaker 6: can't handle it anymore.
- 40:57Speaker 5: RTD, get your crap together.
- 40:59Speaker 6: Man, if you if this is gonna be real, you
- 41:01Speaker 6: better have more trains, faster, more efficient, more people, more everything.
- 41:06Speaker 12: It's funny because I was just up in Seattle for
- 41:09Speaker 12: USA soccer the whole thing. Remember USA had a soccer
- 41:11Speaker 12: tournament and something. Yeah, and Seattle was buses and the
- 41:15Speaker 12: bus system was unbelievable. And that's what I feel like.
- 41:18Speaker 12: We really just don't have on the same level. Sure,
- 41:22Speaker 12: the trains, whatever, but when you have buses running absolutely
- 41:25Speaker 12: non stop from all over the place, that made the
- 41:28Speaker 12: biggest difference to me.
- 41:29Speaker 4: Well, we try, but our buses are half the time
- 41:31Speaker 4: they're half empty. I gotta admit, I don't know if
- 41:33Speaker 4: I've ever taken like a b I shaking the bus
- 41:36Speaker 4: all the time.
- 41:37Speaker 3: You take the bus from North Denver to downtown Denver
- 41:39Speaker 3: all the time.
- 41:40Speaker 5: The buses were so prominent in Seattle. There were less cars.
- 41:44Speaker 12: I could tell there were less cars in Seattle because
- 41:46Speaker 12: of it, and they ran all the time like clockwork.
- 41:49Speaker 3: And we don't have that. I know what you're saying.
- 41:51Speaker 12: And you're laughing about some of the things I've been
- 41:52Speaker 12: laughing about for well, I'm on that TENO State station all.
- 41:59Speaker 3: All the time. It is a noble cause.
- 42:03Speaker 4: It is a wonderful process. No, no, I'm saying this
- 42:08Speaker 4: whole thing about anti car like we don't want cars
- 42:11Speaker 4: down there.
- 42:11Speaker 3: I love the thought process. It ain't gonna work.
- 42:15Speaker 4: There's no there's I'm telling everybody right now, listen to me,
- 42:20Speaker 4: it ain't gonna work. We are in a car driven city.
- 42:25Speaker 4: If you don't have a car here, you're out of luck.
- 42:27Speaker 12: Well, good luck into a game in that district on
- 42:29Speaker 12: game day without a car.
- 42:30Speaker 2: That's It'll be on with our training camp show coming
- 42:34Speaker 2: up next from ten to two.
- 42:35Speaker 5: But before we get out of here, Steve Nelson, where
- 42:37Speaker 5: did we go wrong?
- 42:40Speaker 1: Nelly monitors the mistakes in today's fact Checker. Fact Checker
- 42:46Speaker 1: presented by Machison Shanker. Serious lawyers for the seriously.
- 42:50Speaker 8: Injured shout out numerous Texters and twitters for catching this.
