  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardy and Kane on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio n E two five and on the Altitude Sports
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: All Right, Adam Schefter's gonna join us at nine o'clock.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: There is something that the NFL is talking about doing
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: vic that is it's funny both the NFL is about
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to do something that applies to the NBA and the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: NBA is about to do something that applies to the NFL.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: But it's something that is and we can talk about
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: this with Chefter later. Sounds like it could be passed,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: which I think is bad for the sport. And the
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: NBA does this. You ever notice how like a trade
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: goes down in the NBA, the Hunter Tyson one they
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: give way a second round pick attached to that Tyson trade.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Right, they exchanged second round picks?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, but the one that they gave away. Do you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: remember what that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Was twenty thirty two?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Who can compute a trade six years from now? Like
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it's almost something that's like it's not even tangible, it's
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: like long a window. Are you trading something fake?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah? And I know where you're going with this. The
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: NFL is opening its window.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: They they want to change. They right now have a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: three year window, so if you want to trade draft picks,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: they can be up until the twenty twenty eight draft,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: because that's three drafts from now this year, next year
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: in twenty seven, twenty eight to B three. They want
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to open that up to five. And I hate it
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: because I think it gives a bad GM who's at
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: like the end of his leash, a reason to mortgage
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a future that he's not going to be responsible for,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to try and hang on for one more year. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: hate the idea. And if you tell me, hey, the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Broncos just traded John Franklin Myers for a first round pick,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: go really win twenty thirty one, I'd be like, who cares?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Well? What about the argument that it opens up more trades.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: It just makes it more entertaining and it allows you
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to do more things if you have a longer trade window.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I like that there's consequences to making a trade, like
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you're taking an actual swing at it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Like, I like that idea, But the NBA also employs
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: rules that you cannot do consecutive years of trading your
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: first round picks.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then that seems silly. It's just like, well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: then why can't I I don't like that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Either, because then your hand to like, exactly, is there
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: anything you like?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: What the NFL has right now I think is great.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any reason to change it. It's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: even if you have.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: The trade not a capitalist what does it have to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: do with capitalism? If somebody wanted to trade a pick
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: in two thoy ninety six, aren't they inclined and allowed
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: to do so?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I think that would be insane.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's the France I said, we are trading
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: every single first round pick ninety five on and we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: gonna do it for twenty five years.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: If you give us Luca, well then Luca would be
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: traded for more than he was traded for initially. Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: but it's you know, when I was in the college
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: football world and it would you know, I was doing
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a show in Lincoln. It's like, Hey, the Huskers scheduled
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: a home and home with Texas. I'm like, oh really,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: when twenty thirty eight, I'm like, might be dead by then,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: what do I care. It's the same way you feel
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: about these first round picks. There has to be some
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: sort of like immediate or sh somewhere in the short
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: term future pain that you're giving up to make a
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: trade like this, because I just I don't like the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: idea of trading what feels like a It's like fake money,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: fake picks. I can't get excited about a twenty thirty
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: one first round pick. It's stupid. So I hate that idea. Now,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: by the way, another way that they're kind of on
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the same wavelength, the Board of Governors is likely to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: expand the NBA two more teams. Is what is being
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: rumored about the places. You can probably guess Vegas would
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: be one and Seattle would be the other.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Total sense, I mean, it's a done deal. Why even
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: there's no reason to labor this. Seattle deserves the team back,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and Vegas everybody knew it was coming.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I have one question, and this goes to expansion and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: basically all of the sports that we have right now
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: because the NFL, and this is where this ties in. Yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they asked Roger Goodell about expansion in the NFL and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: he goes, well, you can look at expansion in a
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: bunch of ways, like us playing the international games as
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: part of it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Much's talking about international expansion, but he did say if
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: these international games continue to have success, there is a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: world that exists at maybe there's a couple of teams
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: internationally that join the NFL.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: There's already really bad teams in every single league that
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: are kind of perpetually bad. There's only a certain number
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of people that you feel like our NFL or NBA
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: or whatever caliber players. And you're gonna expand that even more.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Feels like you might water down the products some doesn't it?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: We am I wrong there?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: You know, at the end of the day, the best
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: teams win. What does it matter?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying, for if you add two more teams,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: would it not even water down the caliber players that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you need in having the league? Right now? Anyway?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I think I don't think so, because I think it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: a hell of a lot of great talent out there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think it's going to be a
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: problem whatsoever talent. I mean again, you know why, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: think that you could take a team of reserves and
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: beat a team of starters. And we've seen it with
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets when they went to Philly, when they went
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to Boston. You could take a team there's great talent
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: in this league occasionally, okay, but we've seen it. Now,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: is there enough talent in the National Football League?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You're expanding that about one hundred and forty other players, Now.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: That's a bigger win. There's a lot of players, man.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And I know that every It's so funny when it
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: comes down to cut day every year at training camp.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And I know it's difficult because you're dealing with people
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and it's a personal sort of thing and you're cutting
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: off somebody's dream. But every NFLGM is like, gosh, it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: gonna be so tough. I don't want to let this
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: guy go. And I'm like, this guy never played for you, Okay,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you have no problem sending that guy in a trade
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: package for a seventh round pick somewhere. I mean, it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of guys that are like
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that is what I'm saying.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Listen, the day will come, and I don't think there's
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: no stop in it. The NBA is already going to
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: start this euro League euro NBA, so they're going that no.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Affiliation with ron Rich Paul thing.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the NBA itself they may have something to
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: do with it, and I'm sure they're going to own
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: a team. They're not going to compete with the NBA.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: It's just an arm a branch of the NBA. The
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: NFL tried NFL Europe and it fell apart. But I
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: can virtually guarantee you this, and it may not happen
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: in our lifetime, maybe yours, not mine. There will be
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: an international there will be a European NFL team headquartered
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: in an European city. It's going to happen. I'm sure
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: it's gonna happen. I mean, I I don't know what. Eventually,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: we'll get you, we'll get you there. Maybe the advent
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: of these new planes that are getting new Europe and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: half the amount of time like the old concord used to.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I want to be like London and Mexico City or
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, if you had to pick
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: two cities right now, I think Mexico City could support one.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they could. It just says, imagine it's cut
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: day and you get cut now you're stranded in Rio
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: dejian Ero.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: That'd be a different story.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you ready to learn Portuguese, buddy.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: That's the other thing I thought about though, Like if
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: they expand to an international market and it's free agency.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You're like, honey, do you want to move the kids
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to Germany?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Now you can't get crazy and cross the international date
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: line because now you're talking about okay, Tuesday, Well what's
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Tuesday for you?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: If my Tuesday already happened. When's the trade deadline? Well
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: it's two it's three pm Eastern or twelve thirty at
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: night year.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Time, or twelve forty five in New Delhi.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. They is it New Delhi? What's the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: there's two places on earth that have halves?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: India does saw it?
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, India does halftime zones, So New Delhi is twelve
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: and a half hours ahead of Denver.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: There was a there's this guy that had this joke.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: It was so good. You know that song It's five
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: o'clock somewhere by Alan Jackson. And he goes, yes, it's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: half past twelve, and I don't care. It's five o'clock somewhere.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: He goes, well, that's not how timelines work. You can't
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: get halves in other time zones. And it turns out
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: technically New Delhi and what's the other one, Nelly, would
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: you say I.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Don't know the other one. I just remember when I
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: was in New Delhi. That was weird, but but it
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: was great because the Nuggets would be playing a game,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: you know, in Portland that tipped off at eight o'clock Mountain,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: which was eight thirty am the next day for me,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: So I can watch Nuggets games with my breakfast.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: It was great.
• 9:06

• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Bro Let me tell you something, right, And do you
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: know what a fatalist is.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: That's what I am. If it happens, it happens, It's fate.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: This is a very easy thing to say. Unless the
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: worst happens and then everybody changes their mind, is all
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. So every everybody goes, oh, you're being such
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a scaredy cat. And then if something that rhymes with
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: schmisch minnen gets hurt and misses the rest of the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: year doing to something in the Olympics.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I understand, But what is your what is your rationale here?
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: What's your grand plan? I mean, what is there is none? There,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: There is no plan. This is what it is. They
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: roll out the Olympics in the middle of the season.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Guys want to play hard for their countries. They're gonna
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: play hard, They're gonna skate hard, they're gonna hit. There's
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: gonna be stuff that happens. And if an injury occurs,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: What, let me just see what straw? Are you nervous
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: like I am not to say you're not excited for this,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: but are you nervous yes or no. Text that into
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: three zero three five oh four oh nine two five.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I want to see what happens here.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Not a single nerve for me, not one.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. I think that's nuts. There is something like
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: when we and we talked to Kevin Demoff about this
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: again at Radio Row, Like I asked him Pook and
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the Coop if he wants to play in flag football
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: when that comes around the Olympics, do you want him
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to do it?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Mh?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: And his answer was kind of like, I'm not going
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: to stop him from doing what he wants, but there
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: is not a single part of you that wouldn't be
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: at least mildly like if I lose one of my
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: best players to something that doesn't affect my team, you
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: aren't gonna feel good about that.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: When do the nerves stop, though, I mean, at what
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: point when it ends? Like? But what if he had
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a camera on each of these guys and you follow
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: him through life and you know they're at an intersection
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: it's bad traffic, and you never I mean, you know
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying, What do we just are you either money?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: No? No? But I here's the thing. It is just
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: an extra layer of something, and I tell you it's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the same way you felt about the Four Nations. And
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: by the way, I thought that was a blast. I
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: loved watching it, but it's not pertinent to your season.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: It's something outside of that. I don't sign.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Blame the NHL, blame blame the world.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not even blaming anybody. I'm just letting you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: like when it's something that is not if mccarr got
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: hurt during an AVS game, it's like you were doing
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: your job.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it doesn't make it easier to digest. See
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: that's what you and I see. It does not for
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: me one bit. If a guy gets hurt in an
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: NHL game or an Olympic game, a guy gets hurt,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the end result is the same. It's unfortunate. They're both
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: trying to win those games. Those are games that they
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: want to win desperately, one for the country, one for
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the team. It doesn't matter where you get hurt, how
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: you got hurt, you got hurt.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: You don't think one of those freakish like baseball injuries
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: that happened like some guy there's a picture that like
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: tried to catch his drone and sliced his hand open.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Had to miss like two months. You don't think sometimes yourself, well,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty dumb way for you to be out
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: of the game. It's different than you ripping your your needing,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Tommy John or something.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: So I'm still so confused. There's a bunch of Avalanche
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: players that won't be participating in the Olympics, and maybe
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: they're on the beach playing dodgeball in can't Kun. What
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: if somebody takes a rubber ball off the face injures
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: his nose.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Well, in hockey upper body injury, they play through that.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: But you're you're serious here, I'm dead serious. Not even
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: if I tell you this. If I say somebody got
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: hurt for a non hockey activity like you said, they're
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: in Cancun and they or I don't know, running on
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: the beach, stepped wrong and tore their acl that wouldn't
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: feel a little bit different than somebody getting hurt in
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: the middle of a game, do you.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: But that's to assume so all of a sudden, your
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: concern levels just go away when they're in the middle
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: of the game. When they get back to playing hockey
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: and they have what is it, five games and seven
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: nights on their return which is a preposterous ramp up.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're five games in seven nights. You're talking
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: about getting hurt. Try avoiding injury in the five games
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and seven nights, so you're gonna be free of any
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: concern during that stretch. I'm good.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: No, it's not.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: It happened in a game.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: It's I I just think it's easier to stomach when
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: something happens like that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: When that makes zero sense. You're hurt, You're hurt.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: A lot of people text line say I'm making sense.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Well, you guys could try to make sense of it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: But an injury is an injury. It doesn't matter where
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: it happens, how it happens. It's bad fortune. Again, I
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: am a fatalist. You can't avoid it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Nelly, Is it different if the guy gets hurt in
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the middle of a game to us as opposed to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: outside of the game.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I think it's definitely worse if a guy gets hurt
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: outside of a game doing something silly like you remember
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: when Madison Bumgarner was in Denver to play the Rockies
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: and not an off day, he went motorcycling and he
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: busted up his shoulder. That is way stupider and hurts
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: way more as a fan than if he just threw
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: out his shoulder throw, because that's an occupational hazard. You
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: expect injuries in the game. You don't expect a guy
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: to like trip down his stairs at night and break
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: a bone.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: So you're you're taking an issue that occurred on a
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: motorbike or a dirt bike, and you're trying to compare
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: that to playing Olympic hockey.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Well, I know it's but you're it's stuff that's outside
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: of the main the main game.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You're you're paying somebody, And again I'm not blaming anybody
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: for playing in this and if they get hurt, I'm
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: sort of with you that, like, it's just kind of
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: how it goes. It's harder for for me to stomach though,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: when I'm paying somebody twelve million dollars a year to
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: do their job and they're doing that job for somebody
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: else and they get.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Hurt at that. I'm gonna give you some parental advice
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: here because I and I think the reason why we
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: think differently on this is probably because our life experiences
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: are so far different. You have two young, beautiful daughters.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I got three kids, including my beautiful.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Baby boy, my beautiful baby girls.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: All right, So what happens is this, here's what happens.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Your level of concern for your kids when they're young,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: it's an all time high. Oh my god. You know,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: keep them close, make sure that they don't bust their heads.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: They'll get oh my god, blood. And then the older
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: they get, they stray, they go to parties.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I got a twenty year old that was at that
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: KU game last night. She kept sending photos of herself drinking.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I was like, huh, this is great. And you know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: they're doing things that are not They're no longer under
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: your control. They're outside of your jurisdiction, understand Radar. So
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: if I took the time to worry like you're worrying
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: That's not the same, not the same.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I would drive myself baddie. You it's not the same.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: You gotta let go.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It's not the same. By the way, I'm very much
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a parent. I'm I'm very much a You're fine. You're fine, baby.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Jamal Kele slips and falls, she cries. I'm like, come on,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: it's not that bad. Get up, You're fine. The difference though,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: like I don't know how else to describe this. It's
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: when you are paying somebody to do a job and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: they are very important to your overall success and they're
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: competing or doing something outside of that that could result
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: in them getting heard. It is different. It does feel different.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: It's why there's clauses in every single sports contract on
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: things they can't do in the off season. I mean,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: dem Off just talked about they cannot skydive contractually. Why
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: because you could get you But but the whole reason,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Vic is you could get hurt doing something or we're
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: paying you to do a job.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: It doesn't ease the pain. And I'll give you an example.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I'll give you I've got classic examples of Hey, if
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets have a healthy AG and a healthy Michael
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Porter Junior, maybe they beat okase in seven last year,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: But themse are the breaks. Michael Porter Junior injured his
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: shoulder in the Clippers series AG in the final minute
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: of a game at home, a game that was won already.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Injures his hamstring. It doesn't matter if he does it
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: walking home or in the game. It happened. They're hurt.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty five eighty six Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Alex Jinglish breaks his thumb, Fat Lever gets hurt, Calvin
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: nat gets hurt. They had a chance to beat the
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Lakers in that series. I just think about those injuries
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: all the time. Happened during the course of a game.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Hold on, what does it matter if bon Nicks broke
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: his ankle break dancing at a club after the Bills win,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: as opposed on a football play. You're telling me you'd
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: feel the exact same thing of like, oh, well, what's
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: that seal?
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by field? What my feel would
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: be bad? Break is fun.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying it feels to me. And look, maybe
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. It feels more stomachable when it happens when
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: they're doing the job you've paid them to do. That's
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: all I'm saying. And so I have extra nerves about
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: this because to me, if mccar gets checked against the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: boards by Evander Kine in the middle of an Avs
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: game and he ends up with a number body injury,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: that is easier for me to stomach than if it
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: happens when he's wearing a Canada sweater.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: So again, for all you people that are such worry warts,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: what do you want me to do. Look away, there's
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: nothing no I This is why I was just so,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna enjoy the Olympics because you're so worried.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Well, and a textra says this, representing your country is
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: bigger than representing the Colorado Avalanche. I don't know how
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: many players feel that way. I'm sure a lot of
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: them do. I've wondered that if I gave Tail the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: option to win a gold or to hoist the cup again,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: what does he take?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: He'll never I don't think they'll ever admit that. They'll
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: never tell you publicly, but I guarantee you privately. Again,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: we've talked about this. If you asked Nicole Yokic privately
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: if you'd rather win gold for Serbia or another NBA title,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: that you think he'd say.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I honestly don't know. If I had to guess, he'd
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: probably say Serbia. But Vic that is different because Serbia
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: is not some basketball powerhouse. It's won medals over and
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: over again. Canada is sort of like the dominant hockey force.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: It's like the US winning a gold medal in basketball.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Would guys take that or an NBA championship? If you
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: presented that option, I think they'd say championship.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Here's a text from Bryson. So if Joker in knock
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: On wood injures himself messing around at the All Star Game,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't be pissed, Vic, Yeah, I'd be pissed, but
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be pissed at him playing in the All
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Star Game because that's no.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: But you feel different, you'd feel different.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't. Don't tell me how to feel. You'd feel
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: died yesterday, I felt little something. Don't tell me how
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: to feel. All right, this this too? Oh? What if
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: you know Jamal Murray's in three point shooting contest? We
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: all love that, right. What if he injures his ankle?
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: What if when he went to grab the ball out
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: of the rack he grabs the entire rack and shoves
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: it in his face and breaks his face. I don't know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on, calm down, I freaks.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you, Vic. I know
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: how you feel about this. You can't change the way
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I feel. I'm gonna be watching sort of nervously, not
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: to say I won't have fun doing it, and I
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: hope they have success. I actually think this could provide
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: a good thing for the Aves. Like if McKinnon's on
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Canada's power play and they have a lot of success,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: maybe somehow that could translate back for the Avs. Fix
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the couple things that exchange, or just confidence maybe that too.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Again, it would suck to see any injury for any player.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Hell I felt for kud Chuck when he got hurting
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: the Four Nations right, remember that a key member of
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: the US team. I fell for him. I was like, Oh,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: that sucks, bad break. But you know what, who might
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: have feel sorry for a player? The Nuggets have had
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: bad breaks all season while they're playing games. I know
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: it doesn't change how you feel it sucks.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: One more reminder, the keyword for this hour is tiss.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: So text set in your first and last name to
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: three zero three five four nine two five and he
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: got a chance to get in the building for the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Avs and Wild when they return on the twenty sixth
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: of this month.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Bryson, I don't know how many times I have to
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: tell you this. You'd be one hundred percent mad if
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: it hurt the Nuggets championship chances were hurting a meaningless game.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: So am I less matter or more mad? Aaron Gorn
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: has played in meaningful games and he's injured his hamstring
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: three times. Payne Watson played in a meaningful game, he
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: hurt his hamstring. If that affects the Nuggets championship chances,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: will I be upset?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: No?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Because they were meaningful games. I'm good. Is there any scenario,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: dumb rationale?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Is there any scenario in which a star player for
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: one of your teams would hurt himself? And what you'd be?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: That stupid way to get hurt, and I'm pissed at
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: him for it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. If one of these ceiling fans is going around
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: and around and they decide during the All Star break,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: let's have a contest so you could stick their tongue
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: up there and see how look? Yeah, yeah, that would
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: That would make me mad? Irrational man, I'm just saying it, Coffee.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: There's times for me that I feel like if I
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: hurt myself. Look, Vic, how about this. Here's a perfect scenario.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: When I went to Veil beer Fest two years ago
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: and was drinking from seven in the morning to midnight,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and I decided at twelve thirty at night, racing my
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: best friend Uphill in a sprint was a good idea.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: And I pulled my hamstring. I was pissed at myself
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: for being so stupid. I really was. I was like,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: what kind of idiot thought this was a good idea?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I was mad at myself. Wasn't like, oh,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: that's the break. So I was like, hey, stupid dummy,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: you know, don't do that. We've gone down this road
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: so many times. I'm so tired.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I remember when Jamal Murray towards ACL, and you freaks
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: were blaming the coach, saying he shouldn't have been in
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: the games wrong, And it goes back to fate. Injuries
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: they happen. Trying to blame something is your way of coping.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: That's what you're doing. You're coping sometimes you just can't
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: avoid it. And if fate allows you to be healthy.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: When the Nuggets won their won and only championship, guess
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: what fate did for that run. They said, the fate
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: said we're gonna let you all play.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is a good one.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: When Martin Grammatica celebrated hitting an extra point, jumped up
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: in the air and towards ACL.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: It was in a game, right, he was in a game.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: All bets are off. He didn't do it playing flag football.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: He did in a game, Bill Grammatic and not Martinell.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Do you think that's a stupid way to get hurt,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: because I do. Because it was unnecessary. It was in
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: a game, It wasn't a game activity. It was a celebration.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: When Gus Farutt head butted the end zone after he's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: scoring a touchdown, gave himself a concussion. You you don't,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: you lie to me. You said that's pretty dumb.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: So if a guy spikes a football like Gronk style
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: yea after a touchdown, Yes, but spikes it's so hard
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: that he throws his shoulder out of place. Yeah, and
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: he misses the next two games. You'd make fun of him.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: You can make fun of him. But it happened in
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: the game. Again, you can't live like that. You'd be
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: worried about everything.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Again, Not blame me, anybody. If an injury does happen,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: it would suck. I'm just saying, for whatever reason, it
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: would feel harder to stomach. That's all three zero three
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: five four oh nine two five A lot more to
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: get do. Adam Schefter at nine o'clock stick around, all right,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: So again we got something new. We're doing every day
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: at A eight forty five and it sounds like this.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely nothing to do with all that Bye anime,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Star Wars, Star treks U.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: The toilet suddenly shattered and collapsed beneath them.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Wait are you still driving that londo?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Oh by the way, with Mosher, Lombardy and Caine, any attention,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Stop looking at that squirrel. Altitude Sports Radio ninety two five.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: So these are all just quick hitters, some stories from
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: around sports, life, entertainment, whatever that I think demands some attention.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Here's one of them. I know you're out on this thing, Vic,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: but Neil Shipley, who is the portly young man who's
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: on the PGA Tour now rocks a mullet. He was
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: in the TGL yesterday for the first time and buried
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: a hole in one on his first part three, the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: only hole in one in TGL history. Now, I know
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of golf purists that don't like this thing.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I actually think it's a pretty entertaining background TV thing
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that's just on. It's silly. It is silly, but I
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: will admit if I'm scrolling through the channels and I
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: see it, it's usually on my TV and I watched
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: that live. It was pretty cool.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I don't mind a little tgl once in a while,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: getting those guys their personalities to shine a little bit. Right.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: It's fun, but it's not golf, and you're not gonna
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: sell me on golf. Listen, I own a simulator, right,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: you hit it a few times, you're like, okay, get
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: the swing in, and then you're like, I want to
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: go play outside. I want to go play a real game.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: It's not golf. It'll never be golf. The fact that
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: he hit a hole in one on a computer, Oh,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: it's stupid.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Can you Are you allowed to take any pride on
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: a hole in one that has hit on a simulator?
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Now, and you'd be ashamed to take in a hole
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: in one on a simulator. It's funny because my brother
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: keeps trying to get one on our simulator. I'm like,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: what I mean, come on, why it doesn't count?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you this, because this happened about
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a month ago. First off the tea, I put it
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: in the water, hit it again, put it this close.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: If that drops, can I take any pride in that?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Because it's a rete.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Well, you can lie and say your first one was
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: just a you know.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Hey, I I tell you what, if you played by
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Moser rules, that'd be one and in Alpatronz's both.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Uh and Oh, by the way, we're just talking about
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the NBA a lot today, the Nuggets and the way
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: they lost last night. Did you see that Mark Cuban,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: shortly after selling all of his ownership or most of
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: his ownership steak in the Mavericks, is now trying to
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: get that back. He is, he is why he is
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: trying to buy the MAVs back. And I think here's
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the problem.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Because they run him into because the new ownership ran
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: him so far into the ground that they're nowhere close
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to the franchise they were before he sold.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, but there's something else to this. If you remember
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: when he sold for billions of dollars, the majority of
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: his steak within the MAVs, he still retains a little bit.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: He's a minority owner now. But if you remember in
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: that there was some sort of clause that said I
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: am still in control of basketball operations, and then that
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: went out the window immediately. And what is he gonna do?
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: He's a minority owner, like he.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: I've got a deeper story, and I think This is
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: why he's probably interested in buying. The owners have made
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: no bones about it. They want a casino built in Dallas,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't look like they're going to get one.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: And so they're going.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Now that the NBA says they're going to expand to
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Vegas and Seattle, maybe this new ownership group with deep
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: pockets can be coerced into buying that. Vegas. Maybe maybe,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: And they simply go to Vegas. Cuba says, okay, you guys,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: take your money there, I'll hold onto the MAVs.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: So they come in, buy the team for a couple
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: of years, sell off Luca for nothing, but spare parts on.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: The team over for two years exactly.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: They took the Ferrari, took the wheels off, sold everything,
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: cut the leather, and said here, here's your car back.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: That's insane, but it's a decent thought that maybe they're like,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: we want a casino. Where can we do that? Vegas
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: is okay with those Vegas has a couple. Yeah, this
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: is a little bit older. But Jane Orvell, he's on
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Iowa staff, now do you see that? And he joined
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: in a I don't know if it's a consulting role
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: We played at Iowa.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Dorvell is I know that his name is uh not
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: well received around these parts anymore. I still like Norvell.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what didn't go right here,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: And it felt like he had a really difficult time
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: finding the right type of quarterback to the offence.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: It was on the tip of my tongue at the
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: quarterback position. He could not get that down. He couldn't
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: figure out the quarterback position. And it ends there. Now.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I was gone. I was on leave when they made
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the Mara higher. I think that is one of the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: most brilliant things you could have done. I thought forever
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: when you guys asked me Vic like, who's the right
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: guy for that job? And I said, you remember when
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Frank Solich got fired from Nebraska. I went to Ohio
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: and just camped there for like eighteen years. Yeah, they
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: need to find somebody like that. And Mora feels like
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: a great FI feels like it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: And he's doing a good job. You know. Since Mora
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: took the job, he's made the rounds in high schools
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: here in Colorado. He's trying to keep the in state
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: guys in state. Yeah, I know, he's filled it up
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: via the transfer portal. I'm still laughing at what you used.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: The term you used when I was on leave.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I was on leave.
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: You mean when you took that three month vacation, it
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: was a month fully paid, well, not by this company,
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: a little bit by the state, kind of by my PTO.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Well you're welcome, you got my money. I paid that money.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Thank everybody. Right now, I want you to look at
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: that camera. I think all of.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Our Colorado listeners and taxpayers were paid for your vacation.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something right now.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, you think you think you be you
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: do the right thing, and you think everybody who pays
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: taxes for your three month vacation.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Against my wife's wishes, I came back earlier than she
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: even wanted me to. I couldn't take it anymore. I
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: had to leave. That's the thing, though, When your wife
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: gets gets the old she gets caught, and then you
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: have she is immobile and unable to carry anything.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: We speak of injuries. What if that happened?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, let me tell you something right now. If
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Yo Kich has to miss time because of a C section,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I would be very angry.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I wantative.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Um oh, by the way. I know we're away Olympic
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Men's hockey to start in a couple of days, but
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: pictures and catchers report for the Rockies here in a
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: couple of days. What are we supposed to do with
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: this upcoming Rockies season? If I tell you this, I
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: am not optimistic about how the team will perform, but
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I am optimistic about the people in charge right now.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I think they've made some good moves. Is that fair
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: or are people gonna yell at me for saying that
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I'm encouraged by the new people in charge of the Rockies.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I really am.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: I am too. I listen, it's gonna be a slow build.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: They're not gonna contend this show. Now, they're gonna be better.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I hope at least there's fresh ideas.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. I've seen a couple of moves that
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: they've made this offseason that already are more intelligent than
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: any of the moves made in the last five years.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: And one of them is like, yeah, you sign a
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: picture that might be good, might be bad. Michael Lorenzen
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: for you know, six or seven million bucks. So it's
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: a one year deal. If he's good, you can flip
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: him at the dead line. If not, then you lose
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: six million bucks for a year. Big deal.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: You'd like that little.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Stuff when you understand the situation you're in. I think
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: is smart and they've made a few moves like that.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: So I am encouraged by this. I am here's another thing,
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: by the way, I just talked trash about this, and
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: then I watched a little bit of curling, and now
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I'm back in because the US is going to be
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: competing for a gold.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: They are and yes, wow, when did we When did
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: we become like the bully on the block and curling?
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: So I believe that gold medal match is today against
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: This is the hang on a second week gone ha.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: It's so hard to read on them.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: The Australians are the bridge show. It's probably the brit
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: I'm always comping.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Hap uh. Mixed doubles gold medal game is Sweden in
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: the US today? What is it happening? If the show
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: gets done ten o five? There's something about the elegance
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: to just ease and off that curling rock.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I don't have you ever tried to curl? Does never
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: tried to curl? So there's a curling place right by
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: my house. It's I've done shuffle board. It's that dude.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: This is no you gotta try. You lose your back,
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: you can fall flat on your face. We did a
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: whole piece on this for you. Used to have a
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: show called Let's Talk Sports. We went out there and
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: did a whole curling routine. I think it was maybe
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: it was Keith, I can't remember. Somebody on our staff
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: let the rock go, completely lost balance, almost broke his
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: head open on the ice. Jeez, it's not as easy
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: as it looks. Okay, it's not as elegant. You gotta
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: there's as.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying is when they sweep, from what I
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: understand now, going straight up and down makes it go farther,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: and going side to side stops it a friction. Is
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: that what I'm reading in this?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: I guess these are the little.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Things that I try and I'm trying to pick up
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: on as I'm watching these Olympics.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: When they're madly sweeping and they're tiptoeing around those stones,
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: you know how they avoid the stones.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I know that's a talent in its own. Yeah, what
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: happens if you touch a rock? Are you cute?
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I thank you? You're done?
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Anyway, a little oh by the way for you.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: We got Adam Schefter joining us in five minutes. Stagram
