  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio App.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Has to score to keep it going. McKinnon usually powers
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: down the middle. He swings wide right. This time the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: cannon misses the net and that is it. The Stars
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: get the extra point four.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: And a half seconds left here for Denver. Inbound goes
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: to Murray and from half court missed it at the horn. Oh, folks,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: is Denver Nuggets dead tired? They get absolutely crunched and
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: points off of turnovers. But tip of the hack to
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: these young bucks by the Memphis Grizzlies, a bunch of
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: guys you've never heard from before in your lives take
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: care of the Denver Nuggets tonight by a final of
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: one to one eight.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, now we're ready for the show. Mostly just threw
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: a smelling salt in my face.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: So.
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: I need one of those right now.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: It was it was bad. It was bad.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: He got right up in there and it was really
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: just one nostril straight to the eyeball.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: Moser, bring me one of those next time.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Vick wants you to bring him a smelling salt. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: will do that. Vic. I got all up in there
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: on Brett and I was happy to do it. Got Nelly,
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: I need somebody to get up in me. Steve was
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: snowing salt. Yeah, okay, I'm your guy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's let's do this. Though, can we please table
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets. I can't start the show with that. We're
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: not gonna do that right now. I want to talk
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: about the Aps because the F's played well. Most they did,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: didn't come away with two points.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: But it's the same story just in reverse.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: The last two games against the Dallas Stars, both teams
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: come away with three points, so nobody has any movement
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: in the head to heads anyway. Over the last the
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: game had a certain feel to it, which was we
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: are going to do everything in our power on both
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: sides to not give you a clean look at all.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, it took Dallas until what three point fifty
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: five left in the first period to get the first
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: shot on goal, and the Aves at that point had three.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Then they come away with the power play where they
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: just are cycling in the zone for a what was
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: it a minute twenty two without a shot before mccarth
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: puts it in and gives you the one to nothing lead.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: But the point, though, Mos, is that game was going
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: to be a game of very few opportunities. When you
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: get them, you need to capitalize. And it was a
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: really evenly played game. I don't know what to tell you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Shootouts are random and you lose it. Okay, fine, I'm
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: not upset with the Avs game last night.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I thought the Avs played an excellent hockey game. Yep.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: If you recall my keys to the game, is that
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: is that my coffee monk of the year, Okay.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: I mean the one that says hot stuff.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's me. If you recall yesterday my keys
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: to the game, the number one thing was what defend, defend, defend,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: and they were superb last night. Vic. It was a
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: superb defensive effort. Can you believe the one goal they
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: do get and No partially fanned on off the post
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: behind Weggie right to Robertson's blot. I mean, you've got
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: to be kidding me.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, McKinnon feels like nine out of ten times he
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: takes that exact same shot, it doesn't end up in
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: the sleeve of Honger.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Dude, It's up his the sleeve. It got in him. Okay,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I am actually in regards to the avalanche this morning,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I feel pretty good and I got in a fight
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: with people on Twitter last night. You know, a lot
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: of people want to look at that with the DOS.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's just so much negativity in the world.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: And have you ever seen VIC people who go, well,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: if you don't, if you think this is a travel
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: then you don't know ball or what that kind of thing, right,
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: They're very obnoxious. There's a lot well basically, yeah I didn't.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: I didn't want to say you, but yeah, there's a
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: lot of negativity out there, gentlemen in regards to this game.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: But a lot got fixed last night in a very
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: positive way. You gain one point. Dallas gott too. That stinks.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: They're trying to track you down and they are very
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: very good. But Vic, you did a lot, a lot
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: of good things last night. I'm not gonna give you negativity.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you a time machine. I just want
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: to fast forward to game seven of their matchup in
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: the playoffs whenever it comes, because that's what it's gonna
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: come down to. All this other stuff that's going on
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: right now, chasing points, playing back and forth.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, it means nothing to me.
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: These two teams are clearly the best teams in hockey.
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: These two teams are destined to meet in Round two,
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: and these two teams are gonna come down to a
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: game seven and it's probably gonna go to overtime, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: one team's gonna have its heartbroken.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah it is, you know, watching those two there, there
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: couldn't be a bigger reality in the NHL that those
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: are the two best teams. Like that's that's just who
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: it is, both of them, by the way, as they're
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: playing well, missing really good players in the lineup.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Correct, both teams missing really good players as more players,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: but both teams missing really good important players to their team.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: VIC last night, and I thought about this before I
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: went to sleep. We can't do it. I wish I
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: had my own side podcast because I'd do it then.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: But Jared Bednar's news conference last night, Yeah, and I'll
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: preface this by saying they lost the game with sticks.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: But he had as accurate a news conference last night
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: as he's ever had, and perhaps as accurate as a
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: head coach has ever had in this town. Well, it
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: wasn't I'd like to play the whole thing, but it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: incredibly I got a piece of it here, and yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: there you go.
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: I mean, I watched your team play like that. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: have very little issues with the way we played. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: you know, I've said it all along. I'm not going
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: to judge your team on results only. I think that's
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: a losing battle. I think you play like that and
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: good things will happen.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: So tell me what they did, because clearly I've watched
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: the entire third period.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: I was too busy working our game.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: What did they do last night that makes you react
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: the way you did and the coach react the way
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: he did. Clearly, the Abs dominated the game from a
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: statistical standpoint, shots on goal and all that business.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: The ice was clearly slanted.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: The tilted, Yes, Vic. They their their shot volume, their
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: shot selection on the offensive side of things, they thought
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: was completely fine. They weren't too cute with it. Now,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: this is this is where I get it. They weren't
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: too cute with it. This is where I get into today,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: and people are gonna be going They lost the game.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: I know they did, and that stinks. And Ottinger was outstanding,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: but they defended so friggin' well. They were. They were
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: attentive to details, they were in the right spots, they
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: committed to virtually everything in that game. Vic, I just
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: don't know how to say it. They played a really
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: good hockey game and they lost. But again, Vic, seven
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: game series. I'll take that effort over a seven game series.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: This is where my big picture of thinking comes in
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: any day of the week.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: The Stars had very few crazy scoring chances. Right, You're like,
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: oh my god, it was just the way the Abs played.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: I agree with you on that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: They built a shield. It was a great one too,
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: and it worked, Wonders. What's frustrating is, I'm going to
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: use the word that you used on us early in
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: the season. The Avs got goldid, they got golid, I
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: mean notre made some saves.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Man, I mean you have the we talked about the
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: McKinnon one.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Mos the Cadre had a pretty prime opportunity in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: second period too, that just miss.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Again he didn't he didn't bury it. You wish he
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: would have. And again I didn't think the car and
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: the power play rings went off the crossbar like McKinnon.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: What did what did Ottinger do specifically that one mckinninch.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: He snuck it up his sleeve, up his sleeve, it
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: went up in him, Vick, it went in him. Okay,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: So if you weren't getting those chances, and again this
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: is where I think you have to be an adult
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: in the room. If you weren't getting those chances, you
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: weren't defending so well, you weren't transitioning so well, you
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: weren't doing if you weren't doing all of that, then
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: this morning, I would be completely honest with you. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: by the way, there have been times when I've heard
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Jerry Bednar talk in the postgame and his job as
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: a coach is not my job, and it's not your job,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Vic or Brett or Nellie or any listener out there,
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: any fan. The job of a head coach. You have
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: to protect players at times, you have to steer things
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: to the side, at times, you have to do all
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: these kinds of things. And I've walked away going, well,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: you know what he talked about this. You know I
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: could see exactly what he's doing. I'm not saying he's
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: not full of it. I'm just saying that he's he's
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: steering it the way it should be steered. As a
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: head coach should any coach. He was last night as
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: accurate in his assessment of that game as I've ever heard.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: He didn't like overtime, Vick. You know, I'm going to
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: use a line that we've heard from different teams that
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: have lost. But the Aves were the better team. They were.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: They lost the game on a shootout, but they were
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: the better team.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: The way I look at it, that's tough.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: All catches up to you that the Aves pulled off
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: two of them in Dallas in the same manner. So
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: big deal, you lose one of those at home.
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: But but the question is if Atinger plays like that
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: in the playoffs. Again, let's just fast forward to game
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: seven of this series.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: All let's just get there.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: Some team is gonna Oh can you imagine watching that, Brett,
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: can you imagine watching these two teams? Because it's gonna
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: come down to it and it's gonna be like pulling teeth.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is We've seen this coming for a
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: while now.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: The thing with the Aves is, if I'm with moj
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: if they play that style over the course of a
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: seven game series, they aren't losing the series. The parks
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: are gonna go through You'll find the back of the net.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: If you play that way defensively, you limit opportunities. I mean,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: how many shots did what do you face last night?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Was it eighteen eighteen total shots?
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean you play that way essentially. Again, I
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: can't tell you how unfortunate that bounces off the post,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: goes behind him to Robertson, who's by the way being checked. Yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: and Jason Robertson. Vick is a very very good hockey player,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: which is why he's going to be an RFA. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: so either somebody's gonna make give him an offer sheet
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: at twelve per which is what he wants, or Dallas
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: will and then they're going to be in cap hell.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: But nonetheless, right to his blade and he puts it
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: home from a very difficult angle. By the way, Weggie
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: got a piece of it on its way into the
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: friggin net. Yep.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Most I'm reading from a lot of folks here on
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the text line.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Now, the one.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: Critique they have is that the Avs just overpass.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: They do do that sometimes, but I'll say this, they
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: had thirty four shots on goal. They had.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I didn't feel like it hindered them last night, though
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: they had twenty shots blocked.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Last night, Okay, this is how well he defended. Dallas
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: had eighteen shots on goal, they had six shots blocked,
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: and they missed some nets. The Avs had twenty shots blocked.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: They are the The Avs are the second highest team
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: in the league at getting shots blocked, behind Carolina. And
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: that's they shoot a lot. So you may think they're overpassing,
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: and maybe you're right. Maybe you want to see ninety
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: shots attempted per game one hundred? Yeah great. I also
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: had this. Somebody responded to me last night and I
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: sent out a very flippant tweet and then dangerous.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: When you're not calling a game and you're on Twitter,
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: it gets dangerous. I've been there. I've been there.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Somebody said, well, you know what, they they've just got
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: an Otinger problem. They just can't they can't beat out,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: they can't score on Ottinger. I said, well, two weeks
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: ago they put five on his ass. Yeah, yeah, so
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: and before that they put four on his ass. So
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, is he he's an unbelievably good goalie. So's
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Weggie Sow's Blackwood Right now. I'm just saying people come
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: in with this kind of thing like they can't score
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: on him them. I was there two weeks ago when
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: they put five on. It just happened. It just happened.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Because today is the opening sorry most to the NCAA tournament.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: We have our own tournament going on. It's our drop tournament.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: We go to the Brett Region today and again you
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: vote at the end of each segment for which matchup,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: who is the winner of each matchup? So in the
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Brett Region one versus sixteen seed. The one seed is.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: When you have a midlife crisis, you do certain things
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: that sort of go against the grain, things you wouldn't
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: normally do.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: A couple of years back, I bought my Vespa dog.
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: I'm a rider. Now I ride.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: It's adorable. You think you're at midlife so good. That
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: is going against the sixteen seed, which is these were
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: guys who committed fraud.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: How would I be able?
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Look, they conned me. I made an investment in these guys,
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: thinking was on the up and up, and they conned me.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: The body language experts good, he's Steve Ballmer. Whenever you're
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: doing that high pitch, there's a little untruthful, little something.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: So if you want the one seed to move on,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: you text in midlife.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: It's adorable. You think you're at midlife.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: If you want the sixteen seed to move on, you
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: text con Look.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: They conned me. It's all of that to three h
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: three five four nine two five. I would wait, didn't
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: that just disappeared?
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: There's whispers out there that there could be a big
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: punishment coming for them that involves lost draft picks and
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: stuff like that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: It's a rumor.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: We'll see, uh, but each segment, at the end of
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: the segment will have a different matchup, So stay tuned
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: all day today.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Now they get to the Nuggets.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, next Johnson bad pass throws it away, break away
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Hendrick's and a dunk with the right hand. Denver right
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: back down ten points again, eighty six to eighty six.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: At poor cause cause I'm dead. I sounded like he sounded.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: Like all of us last night.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Play that again, Nelly, let me hear cause again.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Johnson bad pass throws it away, break away Hendricks and
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: a dunk with the right hand.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: You want to dude?
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Denver right back down ten points again, ninety six to
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: eighty six.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: If Cose could put down his headset and walk out
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: of the arena right then and there he would have
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: and I know it's crazy.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I don't believe.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Just real quick here, Vic, I want to remind people,
• 15:31

• 15:58
  Speaker 7: Go ahead, Vic, I was say that game bothered me
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: less than the Lakers game. Oh yeah, oh yeah, maybe
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: you could tell me why I think that way?
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: Well once, because it's the Lakers. No, I mean, that's
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: that is a part of it. Sure it might not
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: be most, but that's a part.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: It's very simple for me.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Go ahead. Yeah, that game just gave me clarity last night.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: It gave me clarity.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: Ah yeah, I'm done predicting what the Nuggets do. I'm
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: done looking at the schedule. I'm done saying here's what
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: they need to finish to get this seed. I'm done
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: with all that. I'm gonna go back to my cynical
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: self until they prove me different. I think that's probably
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: the best place to do the best place to.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Be right now, because.
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: Every time they get back on the bike and I
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: think all right, here we go, they fall off the
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: bike again, and they find.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Different ways to fall off. And at this.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Juncture of the season, with so much on the line,
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: with playoff seeding again and playing the right way, with
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: so much of that on the line, you you can
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: ill afford to do this. This is not the time
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: nor the place. So it's up to them now to
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: make me believe it's not the other way around.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I'm not.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: I don't subscribe to that theory that as long as
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I'm a great fan they'll come through. No, No, you
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: have to make me believe right now as we stand
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: as we stand right right, it's very I'm a non
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: believer right now. Here's my problem, Vic, And I'm just
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: curious where you guys stand on that. Well.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I was pissed last night and here's why. There's a
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: scene from the movies or the TV show Succession where
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Logan Roy, the dad is looking at his kids.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Land in the airplane.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Brut I've been speaking for five seconds, I know, but
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: this has taken on.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: No, it's right here. Just want to let you know
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: how it feels. It was the airplane brought you the
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: same land. The plane is faster than the story I've
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: told so far.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: He looks at his kids and he goes, I love you,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: but you are not serious people. And that's what I
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: feel about the Nuggets. I love the Nuggets, but they
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: are not a serious basketball team right now. They really aren't.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: There is no excuse for what happened last night. You
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: cannot lose a game when you were in a battle
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: for seating in the Western Conference to a team that
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: is fully given up and playing people you haven't heard
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: of before.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: Even though you got in at five am. And I
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: don't care.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: I've relaid that story mean either. I don't care either.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: I'll be honest with you. I've been on the other
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: end of that. I understand.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter because you know what the same circumstances
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: were in play last week when you went into San Antonio,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: and you found a way to win.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: So I think that one thing is incredibly clear. And
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: we love Jokic. Jokic is the best player in the world.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: All of that, his turnovers have become a real problem recently.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I was going to start their real problem. I was
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: going to start there because I think the team.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: And follow me on this one and tell me to
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: you guys again if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: This team is.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: A reflection of his attitude a lot. Yeah, And what
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: I saw in the first half of that game almost
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: as if he was toying with the game.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Yep, attempted three shots, a lot of back and forth
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: with the officials, and I'm not sure what we were
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: doing there. And if you toy with the game too much,
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: eventually the game will bite you back.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: And that's what happened.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: This is very simple to me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: A lot of the problems that we talk about the
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Nuggets late game situations defensively not being good enough, you
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: can trace a lot of that back off of just
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: giving the ball away. They gave up twenty seven points
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: off of turnovers. And if there's one way that you
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: can get a young team who's maybe not very confident
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: and not very talent. You want to get them confident.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Give them free buckets over and over and over again,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: and watch that confidence grow.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Of the course, you know a lot of Avs fans
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: chimed in in the last segment about how the Avs
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: overpassed the times you want to talk about overpassing pretty
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: much what I saw from the Nuggets last night. It
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: made me sick at times because I knew they were
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: the better team. Put your big guy on the block,
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: give them the ball and go shoot. Yeah, they can't
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: guard him. They can't guard him.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Why are you allowing them to guard him by overpassing?
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Like a lot of this stuff with them, You know
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: what it feels like VIC a few years ago, they
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: were certainly guilty of this. They would play a team
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: that they were better than, they knew they were better
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: than them, and they toy with them, and you'd be
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: midway through the third quarter and the game would be
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: like a two point game and you'd be saying, what
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: what are they doing? But they had that ability to
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: change it, and they knew that they could hit that
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: gear that the other team couldn't hit. And it feels
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: like they're playing that same way with an inability to
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: hit that gear.
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: But there's too much whining at the officials. There's too
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: much yelling at calls. There's too much of that, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: it cycles through the whole team after a while. At
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: some point, you just got to focus on winning the
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: damn game and stop that. Just just play the game.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: This is true and I can't I can't understand this,
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: and I if someone could make sense of this, please
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: let me know.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Do you know that.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: The Denver Nuggets were a two seed? They were the
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: two seed in late January Joker returned to the team,
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: and now they're the six seed. How does that happen?
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: They were the two seed. He's healthy, and now they're
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: the six seed.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: And now there is clones to being in the plane
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: as they are, being the three seed, two and a
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: half back of the Lakers, two and a half in
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: front of the Phoenix Suns.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: I've come to you know, they have a losing record
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: since his return. Yeah, I've come to accept vic that
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: they're gonna be on the road for the postseason, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: maybe I'm I'd like to say, you know, up there,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: they've been a really good road team this year. It
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: is overlying, it's not silver lining. I'm gonna be on
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: the road. I don't care how good you've been and
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: how much the home floor has been a pain in
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: the tail. You want to be at home and they're not.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: They're not going to be I've accepted that. I was
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: incredibly frustrated Vick last night. I even sent you a text. Obviously, Yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: but I'm like, I was waiting for them to just
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: to Okay, go, go, get some stops and then go,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: and it just never ever.
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: It's like a child breaking your heart. So it feels
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: like to me, listen again, I am Expectations for me
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: mean nothing. They've got twelve games left in this regular season, right.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: Dempsey said it best last night when we were talking
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: about the remaining schedule. If they're capable of losing to Memphis,
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: they're capable of losing to any one of these twelve
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: remaining teams.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: MO.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: When I bring up these games, I don't want to
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: hear your this is the NBA cry, because this is.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Where we are right now.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: You know this motion. They're capable of losing.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: If you're gonna do it, If you're gonna do it,
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: then do it, right. Yeah, that was weak well whatever.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Most last night I was thinking of you the entire time,
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: And this is why you can't.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: You can't think that way. I don't know what this
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: team is.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: I agree with you. Last night was beyond frustrating. It's
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: everything I can do. Frustrating is not the word.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: It is disappointed. Now I'm all disappointed. It's like, you
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: know what's at stake. No one needs to remind you.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: You know, the Lakers.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Now, the Lakers win last night, the three seed kissing goodbye,
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: that's gone. That's yeah, that's gone. Yeah, no change on.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: So now you're looking for the four seed at least
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: home court in the playoffs. But why am I sitting
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: here trying to craft a model to have to get there?
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: When what does that matter? Who you play in the playoffs?
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: If you perform like that, what does any of that matter?
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, yeah, right now, if you get Memphis,
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: if you won't, obviously they're not going to make it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: But I wouldn't feel good against anybody, to be honest
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: with you, Vic, and it's not.
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: You know, we can get into a lot of different things.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: Last night they were tired.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Clearly play the younger.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Guys then, you know, maybe play fresher legs. You know what,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Julian Strather got five minutes. I'm like, why is any
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: playing a little more in the second half? Let me
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: say something about tired legs.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: If I could conjure up a back to back with
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: almost every scenario that you'd want, with the exception of
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: getting in playing problems at five am, put that off
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: to the side for a second. But if I gave
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: you this vic, you have a back to back in
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: which the game the night before was over at halftime,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: nobody played, no one on the roster played more than
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: twenty seven minutes, and then the next day you're playing
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: against a team that is fully given up on the season.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: I couldn't lay out a better scenario to win in
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: a back to back.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: And here's how you win last night. It's pretty simple.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: You play strong early.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: Just knock all the fight out of them. I know
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: you're tired mentally and physically.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: I know, but if you give it your best early
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: in the game and just let them know you're the
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: big dog.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: But instead instead they're experimenting. Joker attempted three shots of
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: the first half.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Three. They don't have anybody he's He's not the same guy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: There was a time and you know this is in
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: his earlier career and he's probing, you know, his teammates
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: and that sort of thing. Those days are gone. You know,
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: you've got to be the man every single night. You
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: can't refuse to shoot. He's changed in that regard. You know,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: his attitude on the floor used to separate him from
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: a lot of different guys in terms of great players,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: He's one of them now, want.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: To again, It's deeper than that. Buttons are being pushed
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: to try and ignite these guys. For me, it starts
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: with your star players. If they're not engaged, good luck
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: getting rested. The team engaged.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: If they're not engaged, Yeah, it starts there. Then okay,
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: what do you do next? I can't get you know,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: my veterans just aren't there. They don't have the legs.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: Well, you went through all of January playing these young guys,
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: and they came through for you. They came through for you.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: You went ten and six in January playing these young guys.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: That's why you built this team. Play the young guys.
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: If you're tired, you know they're right there.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: I'm still confused, and this is I don't know what
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Adalman's strategy towards this stuff is or where.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: His head's at.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Because I'm with you on you had all of these
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: guys play looked like they were if nothing else, Vic,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: you know this, those guys are gonna play hard. They're
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: gonna go out there and give effort. They're gonna played
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: like seventeen guys last night. They played every single player
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: on their roster. That's their style, that's what they do.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: And I don't know.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: What what's going on with the Valentiunis minutes. He plays
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: for like three seconds and then he's out of the game,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: and I don't feel I feel like he's fine when
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: he's on the floor. But that was another example last night.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: It's like you could take advantage of a big man
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: being in the middle, and if Yokic isn't willing to shoot,
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: and you have minutes to give Valentunis, then let Valentunis
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: I just don't get it, you know.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: I Again, I'm gonna use a word that you hear
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: a lot in this In this day and age, I'm
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: sitting a lot of victimhood. The victim is you know, like,
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: oh my gosh, they're fouling and I and you guys
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: aren't seeing it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: And so now you gotta fight through that. Man, Yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: you gotta fight through that. This is not the time
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: of or place to do that. You are making a
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: playoff push. So I'm at the point where, Okay, if
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: this is what we're gonna do.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. Last twelve games, they don't matter. I
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: don't care, they don't matter. Just get to the playoffs.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: Let's see it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Let's evaluate from there. Is that fair? Let's just get there?
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Well, whoever you get there, whatever seed do.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: The evaluation of what this.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: Team has done begins in the playoffs, because it looks
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: like this team wants no part of the rest of
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: this regular agreed.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: But but again, assuming they're gonna get in. But goll lee, man,
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: this is completely unexpected. I'm a bit befuddled in flummox.
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: Well your flummox, because one night it's fixed, the next
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: night it's broken, the next night it's fixed.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: And there's I mean, there's zero consistency none. It just
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: doesn't exist. It doesn't exist.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: That's a team that lost eight straight games. Memphis lost
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: eight straight games? Are you kidding me?
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: They had dudes? You read up some names yesterday, and
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't know who that is. I don't
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: know who that is? Who is that? And then last
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: under the For'm like, I still don't know who that is?
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: No, the only guy I did recognize, Like, well, I
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: recognized a few, but the guy I recognized most prominently
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: was forty year old Taj Gibson, who I forgot was
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: still in the league.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: I couldn't believe.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: I was thinking about how many of those guys could
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: crack your rotation?
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: Now their NBA players.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: NBA players are all lethal, but how many of those
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: players on that team.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Could actually crack your rotation? Excellent's the answer to that question.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: Excellent point. So it's like it's like asking, hey, Vic,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: who's the backup strong safety for the Arizona Cardinals. You're like,
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: no freaking know which?
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, and I don't want to. Here's what
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: I want to hear today? Oh, well, you know they
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: were missing AG and Peyton Watson. I don't care if
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: Mark Moser plays power forward for the Nuggets last night
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: you win.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: I don't care. I mean, stop, stop with the excuses.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: I am so tired of excuses.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Brings me right back to this.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I love you but you are not serious people.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: That's what I feel about the Nuggets. That's Brian Cox. Yeah,
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: he's a pretty he's a pretty good actor.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Let's move on in our drop tournament here in the
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Brett region today. Each segment of the show, you vote
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: at the end of each segment what moves on the
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: eight versus nine seed.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: The eighth seed is enthusiasm, the knowledge, the background.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Jeff stood out.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Steven Ross, Dolphins owner couldn't remember his head coach's name.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: The nine seed is what went into your decision to
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: give Julian Lewis the nod this week. Comma sense, comm
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: a CeNSE.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: It's the sniffles, the breaths, the drinks that I love
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: most about that.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: So.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Comm assense.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of stuff going on there.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: So if you want the eighth seed to move on,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: you text Jeff Jeff. If you want the nine seed
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: to move on, you text common commasense. So all of
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: that to three h three five four nine two five
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Joint Altitude Sports Radio and the crew at the Buffalo

• 31:52

• 31:54
  Speaker 4: oldest bar in Colorado. We'll see you at Buffalo Rose
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: starting at ten o'clock today. Speaking of the tournament, I
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: have a question. It might be a personal thing, might
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: be just me, but has the nil slash transfer era
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: of college athletics taking a little bit away from.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: A day like today. We'll get to it next.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Tune in all day today and Friday this week for
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: the NCAA Tournament from Westwood One. It's presented by the
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Reputation Law Group, specializing in divorce and DUI matters. To
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: schedule a consultation with these attorneys, go to the Reputation
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Law Group dot com. Now, I'm not jealous of the
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: other shows. By the way, it may sound like that
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: they're off today.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it may sound like I'm gonna stick
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: it to them because I'm jealous. I'm not. I'm proud
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: to be here. I'm proud to be doing God's work.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Talking about these two losses last night, one in a
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: calm manner, the other one I'm very emotional about. Yeah,
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: and that you think it'd be the Abs, it's not
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: very calm about that. They play great, really talked about
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: the Nuggets, period. But the rest of the programs, see
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: we're doing our job. These other guys are just the
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: laziest bums you've ever met. Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, here's the thing. When we get off a ten,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: it's for the rest of the day. Today you're just
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: gonna hear hoops on the station.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Awesome. And this is you know, when you.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Ask somebody what's your favorite day in the sports calendar, Like,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: for me, it's the opening eleven o'clock window of the
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: first week of the NFL season when I turn on
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: red Zone. It's my favorite thing. For some people it's
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: the Masters, for some people it's the open to college
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: football season.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: Whatever it is.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: For you, this day is always one of the top
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: days for everybody. They take work off, they do all
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: that stuff. My question to you is, and part of this,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I think is CSU and c you both missed the
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: tournament this year and the ray local flavor.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: See the Ramies lose last night.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: The n it yeah, hug, it does doesn't have the
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: same oomph for me as it has in the past.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: And I think the reason for that is it's so
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: hard for me to follow teams in players that you know,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: when the tournament would roll around, you'd want to watch
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Jim Er fourdett at BYU. You like, I gotta watch BYU.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: You gotta see Jimmer or you gotta watch John Morant.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: He's a You've seen this kid out of Murray State.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: He's really really look.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: And Vic and I can go back. I mean further
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: than that.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: But all I'm saying, though, MOJ is like there were
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: things that you looked forward to because you had a
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: quasi grasp of some teams in this thing, and I
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: feel like it's so hard to follow now that it
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: takes a little bit away from it.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Not that I won't be watching. I'll be watching the
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: hell out of it, but I do think it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: Depends on how closely have you watched college basketball. I mean,
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: I'm sure there are players around that I can't wait
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: to see. I can't wait to see a Jada Bonsa
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: from BYU in this tournament. I can't wait to see
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: what Darren Peterson does for Camp this with Boozer does
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: at Duke. I mean, at the same time, I get
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: what you're saying, it's hard to build teams, but you're
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: building individuals, not teams.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, to take this a step further, the other thing
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: it takes away from is when the nil stuff started
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: coming through, there were haves and have nots, and then
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: that gap widened. The funny thing on the football side,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: you still need to have money, but that actually allowed
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Indiana to be a good football team in which they
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: previously purely couldn't get to this point, right, how many
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: fourteen thirteen seeds are we going to see win over
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: the next couple of days given that gap now, because
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: the last couple of years there's been few and far between.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: And that's the entire appeal to me of these first
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: two days is which of these unknown darlings are going
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: to be the story of the day. And it's been
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: like chalk the last couple of years, these first couple
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: of days.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: I don't how do I put this. I don't know
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: what I don't know about these teams and these players. Now,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: I guess number one is because I have I'm just
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: so busy in my own life and I don't have
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: time to really you know, study and watch like I
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: used to. But also over time I've just lost interest
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: in really learning about you know, I used to be
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: able to vic back in the day. I could tell
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: you the ten best teams in the ACC no problem.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: I can tell you that. I mean, I did college basketball.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: For crying out loud, I could do Yeah, I could.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: I could all the I mean the A ten I could.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: I could go through the top three teams and say,
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: this guy's a player. This is back in the day.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: Now I can't do Jack squad anymore.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: But let me just tell you, Mosh, I lived in
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: a town where it was all college sports all the time.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: I didn't know Jack squad about ninety percent of the
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: teams in the NCAA Tournament. That didn't take away my
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: joy from watching it. My question is like, can Florida
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Gulf Coast happen again in this era of college athletics.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know that it can. I mean, I think
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: everybody's getting some money VIC, but the big guns have
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: all the money.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: So wait a minute, what do what exactly is your point?
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: What are you getting at? Are you not gonna watch games?
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: No, I said, I'm gonna watch the hell out of it.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: What I told you was the excitement level I have
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: now is much less than it was in previous years.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Because of I think you're gonna see a lack of
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: the upsets, which is the entire reason I love the
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: first Thursday Friday of this tournament.
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: All right, so it's not the appointment television it once
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: was for you. Is that what you're saying, because there's.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: No Yeah, pretty much pretty much.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: But let's let's see it play out. Let's see if
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: there are any of those cinderellas.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: That you speak of.
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: Let's see, like, who would qualify? Did you guys watch
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: did you see what Miami Ohio did last night? And
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: everybody expected Miami Ohio to fall flat on its face
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: against a legit team, legit right, SMU, Well they beat them.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: So that goes against your your theory. There already game one,
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: which was a playing game.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's playing I mean, so what, Well, what I'm
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: looking for? Vic? Like, I think I show to disagree
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: with your theory. I think smaller schools still have a chance.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: I think smaller schools have something that bigger schools do not.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: Smaller schools a lot of them. They've got teams that
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: have been together longer. That's the more chemistry.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: I guess we'll see if Certainly the last couple of
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: years it hasn't felt the same as far as upsets
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: early in the in the tournament, hasn't felt that way.
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: Now again.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: I will be watching, Trust me, I will be watching
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: all of this because I still think it's an amazing
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: thing that comes around every single year. I have a
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: fear that that gap now between these teams is so
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: fast that it's almost impossible to overcome for some of them,
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: at least for an extended stretch.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: But I don't know.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm wrong. Textures three out of three five oh
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: four h nine two five? You tell me?
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Do I feel? Is the way I feel?
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: The way you feel?
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, don't get me wrong. If I wasn't flying
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: to Chicago today, I'd still be at the Buffalo Rose
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: with a cold one in my hand and a burger
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: in the other and playing the silly Papa shot. This,
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: this is this is this is big. You ought to
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: see this Papa shot They rolled in?
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: Wait, is that like ours? Forever? I don't know where
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: did they put it?
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Well, literally in the middle of the it's just sitting
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: over there by.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: I saw the picture, Nelly, but I mean I didn't
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: know where it was.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: I like all the flashing lights and you know, the
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: wall comes up and the balls dropped down to you
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: and you start going to town right in the digital
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: and all that.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: So somebody bought a Papa shot and brought it here
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: for the turn.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I play it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: Why don't whoever that somebody is, why don't you just
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: buy my simulator? Bring it to the station, And I'm
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: sure these guys would rather have a simulator. Buy it,
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: damn it, buy my simulator. I demand that the station
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: buys my simulation.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: Something's going on here. Hey, somebody mentioned is this true?
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: You helped me out because I don't know. Is like
• 40:08

  Speaker 6: True story.
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: I did undergo that procedure during the NCAA tournament many
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: years ago.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: What I didn't do, what I fail to do is
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: the follow up portion of the procedure, which led to
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: our third child.
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: I follow there. You have to have a follow up
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: to them.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a fall.
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: You undergo the procedure, and then there's a follow up
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: to see if it worked. I neglected the follow up.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: Third child arrived.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: Therefore, I'm making up for lost.
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it every year now, even though I
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: cannot have children anymore. So you do it just for
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: fun now me. It's just it's an enjoyable and enjoyable
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: it's part of the tradition.
