• 0:19
  Speaker 2: And Ross, if you go back to the last time
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: somebody won this division that was not New England or Buffalo, yes, 2008.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: The App Store had just launched. Low by Flo Rida
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: was the number one song in America. Shorty got low
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: with her Apple Bottom jeans. And Marvel Cinematic Universe began
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: with Iron Man. Today's quarterbacks, Drake May was six. Josh
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Allen was 12 years old.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: That man joins us right now on the Ramos Law Hotline.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Car accident, you need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Ian Eagle, going to be on the call for Broncos
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: and Chargers this weekend. Always good to talk to you, Ian.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: How you doing?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: I feel like we've crossed over into new territory in
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: our relationship. If I'm willing to put the camera on,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: that's next level. That now means we've entered a different
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: area of our dynamic. For the record, Ian.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: I am not comfortable with cool and hip Iron Eagle
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: wearing a cap. I'm just not quite there.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I know. Well, it's not for the radio audience. They're
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: going to have to visualize this. I'm going for the
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: rugged outdoorsy look today with a hat, having shaved, the
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: lighting motif. I really went all out for you guys
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: this morning.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: Shorty got low. With God as my witness.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: A tremendous drop forever.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: With God as my witness, if you grabbed a Miller
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: Lite right now and chugged it on Zoom, I probably
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: would pass out, to be honest with you, because I'm
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: not used to it. It's great to talk to you, man.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: And you got an interesting game coming up this weekend
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: because we're trying to figure out what these Broncos truly are.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: And you're going to get a chance to get with
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: the guys as this week goes on. you know, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: Bo Nix in your number three with the ankle and
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: so on, but he just looks like two different players
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: compared one half to the other half so far this season.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: When you're starting to study this team and look at it,
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: what do you notice that's maybe the same or different
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: from what you've seen before?
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously it was there for the Jacksonville game, so
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I have a little more in-person data to go off of.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I think the first month of the NFL season is
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: always a feeling out process. We're trying to figure out,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Who's legit?
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Who's not?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Who's going to surprise people? And then who's going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: disappoint people? And you are sometimes what your record says
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: you are. And I feel like with the Broncos, this
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: is who they are. You've seen some flashes of what
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: they can be. And then there have been some moments
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: where you think to yourself, well, maybe they're not in
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: that upper tier in the AFC, which is completely wide open,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: by the way. Working that Buffalo-New England game was a
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: reminder that, Everybody thought the Bills are clearly the team
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: to beat. They did not play well against the Chargers
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the week before. They did not play well against New
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: England and suffered their first loss of the season. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: think the most concerning part, and you guys are living
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: in it, is just how conservative it's been. There just
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: has not been that dynamic atmosphere. feeling on their offense
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: running game has been more or less non-existent and just
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: a whole ton of checkdowns to RJ Harvey that seems
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to be the default mode right now on.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Offense yeah and another part of that is you know
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: we look back to last year we had these same
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: conversations last season but they finished with 14 wins and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: it was the oddest thing you know number one in
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the AFC was maybe a healthy Bo Nix away in
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the AFC Championship for making a Super Bowl. And you
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: look at the schedule, by the end of not this week,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: but the following week, they play on Thursday after this
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: against the Seahawks. They'll have played maybe five of the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: best teams in the league to start the year. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the strength of schedule part is something that I think
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: maybe you have to keep in mind with record and
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: how things are resulting, we'll say.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Agreed who you play when you play them look if
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: you're a team that thinks you're a legit Super Bowl
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: contender there are a lot of games along the way
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: that can help you create the narrative of being a
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: championship team and you find out about your team with
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: certain points last week being a great example hey you're
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: going on the road against clearly one of the best
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: coach teams in the NFL and a team that never
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: makes excuses. They lose players left and right. They replace them, second-teamers, third-teamers,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and they still deliver San Francisco. And you walk away
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: from it thinking, okay, that seems to be a different
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: level of the team that we're watching week in and
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: week out. Now, when the season's all done, as you
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: put so aptly, that might become a distant memory, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: it'll pop up again in January if you're a playoff
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: team because you're going to start analyzing– Who have you played?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: How did you fare against them? And what kind of
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: confidence do you have as an NFL observer in a
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: team that entering a postseason? Are you truly a team
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: to beat? You know, I just think with with Denver,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: with New England from last year, because they were not
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: expected to do what they did. There are enough people
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: around the NFL that say, hey, wait a second, I'm
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: not ready to to put all my eggs in this basket.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: It's hard to sustain success. And you nailed it in
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: terms of strength of schedule. That's why the NFL is
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: king in many ways. The fact that year in and
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: year out, they can find a team that comes out
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of nowhere, last place to first place, a team that
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: you did not expect to be in the playoffs, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: they're there. And it's often based on that strength of
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: schedule and injuries and your draft class, all these variables.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: But that's why the NFL has remained so competitive and
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I think, has engaged their audience every year. You feel
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: like you have a shot. If you're the Minnesota Vikings
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: right now, there's no possible way you could have thought
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: that you'd be standing at undefeated through the first month
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: of the season.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Visiting with the very hip and young at heart, Ian Eagle,
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: who's calling the Broncos game this week. You've already had
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: the chance, since you've called the Broncos game, to visit
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: with Coach Payton and Steph. How is he taking to
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: this not calling the plays. How's that dynamic working for him?
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: How did he express that to you?
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Well, he told a story when he was calling the
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: plays and Jim Fossil decided that he was no longer
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: going to be calling the plays for the New York
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Giants and how much it hurt him and affected him
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: at the time. Now he understood and probably has a
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: greater understanding now of why these decisions are sometimes made.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: If you're the one on the firing line, then you're
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: you probably want to go down with your stuff and
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: your approach as opposed to somebody else's moment to moment.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: He's obviously still heavily involved and he wants Davis Webb
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: to succeed. I think ultimately if Webb succeeds, that means
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: the Broncos are doing well. That means Bo Nix is
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: doing well. That means everything came together the way that
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: it was supposed to. The stories that you've heard, are
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: probably the same ones that I've heard. And I'm not
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: sure that they focused in on this. We asked it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: We didn't get a specific clear answer. He mentioned it
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: as part of the equation that Webb was getting job offers.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: He was interviewing for head coaching jobs, that there was
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: going to be a place for him to call plays.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: And if you want to be a head coach in
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the NFL, more often than not, not always, it's not
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: a steadfast rule, but If you look at the percentages,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: it's a high percentage. You got to call plays. And
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: owners and GMs want to see how you handle that
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: position before they hand over the keys to their team. Now,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: we could debate whether or not that's a fair way
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: in which to view candidates. In reality, if you think
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: about it, more often you're not calling plays as the
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: head coach. So what is it? It's really more football IQ,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: game situations. how you handle the offense being in front
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: of the team, presenting, all of those things come into
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: the equation. So I think that there is a part
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: of him that's probably still getting used to the idea.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: And look, we know how this business works. If the
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: offense does not improve, it will continue to be a storyline.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: And trust me, in that game that we did, that
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: week two game, If they didn't get it going, it
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: was going to become more of a storyline for us
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: on the TV. And you can't just dismiss these narratives.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: They're real. Now you make a choice when you're doing
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the game. Is it the sole focus? Are you showing
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Davis Webb every six seconds? Or is it something that
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: we cover? We feel like we've covered. Do we need
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to revisit? That's the conversation that we're having in game
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: as to how to best provide the viewers with all
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: the information they need to follow the game.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: You're right. It is real. It is real. So you've
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: got to keep flashing back to that play caller. And
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: what's the dynamic on the sideline like? I mean, that's
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: a running theme throughout the course. It is. Let's go
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: to the opposition real quick. And you were talking about
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: the Niners, how Shanahan just absolutely does. The guys fall
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: like flies and they find a way to get it done.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: It's amazing.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: The Chargers are the opposite. Guys fall like flies and
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: that team falls apart, but that's no excuse, Ian, for
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: what has happened really in the first month of the season.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: When you look over there and you talk to your
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: fellow colleagues, is the scuttlebutt we just can't believe that
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: this team with McDaniel coming in is 0-4?
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: I think they are the biggest surprise of all, of
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: teams that are not living up to what the reputation
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: was coming into the season. We knew they had a
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: tough schedule, and it is. We mentioned it with strength
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: of schedule, what Denver's gone through Chargers have gone through
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: something similar. Vegas turned out to be better than we
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: all anticipated. We just assumed, hey, that's a win. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: that's the reminder in the NFL that we make a
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: lot of assumptions that are often wrong. I think the
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: concern if you're Denver and look, there's nothing you can
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: do about it other than prepare for the game and
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: have a good game plan, go about your business and
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: hope to walk out of there with the kind of
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: win that you need at this stage of the season.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: The Chargers are desperate. It's beyond desperation now for L.A.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: I know Jim Harbaugh well enough, having done games of
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: his in different iterations of his coaching career. This is
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: just eating away at him. And the changes that they
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: made with their offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, defense is getting better.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: So looks like Coach O'Leary has not been on the
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: hot seat quite as much. But this was supposed to
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: be the year that Herbert gets unlocked, not just statistically,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: but becoming one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: not just a player that we look at and say, man,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: the potential, what you could do with it. And it's
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: just not happening. He's looked discombobulated. The offensive line, which
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: has been a huge problem, continues to be an even
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: larger issue. They can't protect him. He took massive hits
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: last week, massive hits. So it's gone as poorly as
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: it could go through four weeks. I don't know other
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: than losing your quarterback, which would be obviously the worst
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: possible thing for the chargers. I'm not sure if it
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: could have gone much worse than we've seen.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I need to go with us. He's on the call
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: for the Broncos and chargers this weekend. Uh, when you
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: talked to Sean Payton, did you hear any, any updates
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: on Sertan or Riley Moss or Pat Bryant?
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Haven't talked to him yet this week. So meetings will
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: be later in the week. Um, you know, look, we'll
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: obviously ask the appropriate questions. Some coaches will give you
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: the real deal. Some will take the company line. That varies.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it varies week to week. Sean is a very
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: engaging person to talk to.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: He really is.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: He, I think, has a new appreciation for the media
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: side of it after having left coaching and been on
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: the Fox side for a year. But You tend to
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: go back to default mode in situations, and I wouldn't
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: be surprised if Sean is just locked in on the
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: things that he needs to do and production meetings are
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: a part of it, but I'm not quite sure how
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: forthcoming he will be in our sit-down this week.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: You know what's interesting, Ian, is that I've noticed that
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: even his post-game press conference stuff, a lot of times–
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years, he's been more chill. He's
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: been salty a little bit, which look, look, it's his personality.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: He seems a lot more chill now. And, and it
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: may be taking play calling duties away and giving that
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: to Davis Webb has helped. I don't know.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, I got to tell you week two, we
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: could have talked for two hours. I'm not exaggerating. We
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: talk for an hour with Sean and these are usually
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: 20 minute conversations. So that does tell you something in
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: addition to maybe the, trying to get some stuff just
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: off his chest. And I've seen it through the years
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: doing this job. There have been moments, depending upon when
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: you get a certain head coach, that they see it
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: as therapeutic sometimes. These are people that have nothing to
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: do with their team, that aren't there day to day,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: and they can sometimes see it as a sounding board.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I think in our case, obviously familiarity plays a big
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: role in that as well. If he knows you and
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: he's comfortable, that helps a great deal. But I tend
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: to agree. I see a different Sean Payton compared to
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: the one that I interviewed and sat down with back
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: in his New Orleans days. He actually did a thing
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: at CBS. I was the secondary host for Super Bowl
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: 50 in the Bay Area with Carolina Denver, ironically, that year.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: And Sean joined our set. And was a pleasure and
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: was really good on TV. I thought to myself, he
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: was still coaching the Saints at that point, but I
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: thought to myself when he did that brief stint, he
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: might have done three segments for the entire show. He
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: was really good at it and certainly could do it
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: if that's what he wanted to do down the road.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: All right, I'll let you go with this. Just a
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: couple of texts. Always want the people to ask questions.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: From Garrett, does Ian Eagle happen to know Ian Ziering,
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: the first of the Ions?
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting that Garrett would bring that up. So many,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: many years ago, this is a 100% true story. Many
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: years ago in the state of New Jersey, my wife
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: goes to one of these in-your-home presentations for a skincare line.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you've ever heard of anything like this.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Sounds like a pyramid scheme.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Sounds like it to me, right? But who am I?
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, there are battles that we choose to have.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: With our spouses and ones where you say, hey, that
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: sounds great. Enjoy it. So she heads there. She gets there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: And who's there presenting? Ian Ziering.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Ian Ziering is presenting this skin care line. Yeah.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: He's got great skin.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: You've got to admit it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: You've got to. In Hollywood, you've got to have it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Unbelievable skin.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, let's face it. Best skin on Beverly Hills 90210.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: For sure.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Gabrielle Carteris to Ziering One. So she is not a
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: person that would ever step in and try to dominate
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: someone's time. She's very thoughtful. She's very nice and affable.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: But she says to herself, okay, how many ions are
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: you going to meet in life? So he does the presentation.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: She now approaches him and says, ions? I'm Elisa. I
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: actually grew up one town over from here, and he
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: grew up one town over from there. He said, uh-huh.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: She said, just wanted to let you know, I'm actually
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: married to an Ayan. My husband's name is Ayan. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: he says, so? So you want to buy some Skizz
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Care Awards?
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: Care Awards. Oh, God. It sounds like a Norm MacDonald skit, man.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. What a great.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Response from him, by the way.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: And?
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: What am I supposed to say?
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Let him have it, Brett, before he goes away here.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: We want to appreciate you giving our little radio show
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: some time.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: You're wonderful.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: But Brett always has a request.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Anytime.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I always have this request. It always makes me feel
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: uncomfortable because they do it to Mosher all the time.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: But I know Mosher really well. Obviously, we work together.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: We like to infiltrate the broadcast booth. You've done it
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: for us before. I have another suggestion.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: In fact, Nelly- I feel like Casey Kasem.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Request, right?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: So- Request live. The last time we did this, it's
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: because our old producer had- next to your name, American
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Sports Announcer, and you did this.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Back at Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas, American Sports Announcer
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Zion Eagle, Charles Davis, Evan Washburn, the rest of our
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: NFL on CBS crew.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Which I can't describe the amount of joy that brought
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: to us hearing that. So we have a suggestion. Do
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: you know the videos of the very old judge with, like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: the Brooklyn accent that lets people off on their small little,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know, parking ticket fines or whatever?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm talking about? I think he's Providence-based.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: He's deceased now, I believe.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: But we have, I don't know, there's something about whenever
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: somebody has something going on, we like to do the
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: impression of that guy, and we always end it with
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: him saying, because he's a good kid.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Can you mix in good kid somewhere within the broadcast
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: this weekend?
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: He's a good kid.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Just a good kid. Do I have to do it
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: with that accent?
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Maybe not that far.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: You don't have to. You don't have to.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: No.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: You know, somebody catches a touchdown. Bo does something great
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: in the passing game.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: You know Bo Nix.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: He's a good kid. Had a chance to talk to
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: his father. He's a good kid. Something like that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: And let me explain. I'm in Winnipeg right now. You
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: probably have never been to Winnipeg. But the Avs are playing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: Beautiful arc behind you, I guess. Yeah, exactly. The Avs
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: are playing the Jets tonight.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: But these guys, you're getting off.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Easy because you ought to hear some of the things
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: that these jack wagons ask me to say during our broadcast.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: I'm like, guys, I'm not sure I can go that far.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: And then I just.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: That's one of them right there. Butter my butt and
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: call me a... So you're getting off easy if you
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: choose to do it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think... Something's happened on Nets broadcast with my son,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: with Noah, where the director is challenging him beyond belief.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: And at some point, I believe Noah used the term
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: episiotomy on the air. I don't even know how you
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: would get there, but it happened. Yeah.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: So anyway, if you could find, you know, some segue
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: to do it, we'd be grateful. If not, no big deal.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: You're the best, Ian.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: He's a good kid.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: That's exactly right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Ian, you're the best.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the time.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: See you, buddy.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Anytime, guys. Always great seeing you, truly. All right, buddy.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Ian Eagle.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: He's going to be on the call this weekend. Broncos
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: and Chargers.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: What a guy, man.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Not only is he like one of the best in
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: the business at doing that job, he's a phenomenal human.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: I've just never seen him dressed down with a ball
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: cap on before.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Hey, I'm calling the Arvada West-Ralston Valley game if you
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: want me to entertain you.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're all kids. I can give you a
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: good kid all night long.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Please do. Whatever you want. Please do.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: I want something different for you. You need to do
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: something different. That's too easy. Who could he call a
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: good kid? See, now I can't wait. Now I have
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: to be tuned in to every second of the broadcast.
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: Well, it's waiting for you to listen. Somebody else texted in,
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: by the way, from 7630. Ian sounds a lot like Vic, actually,
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: except Ian speaks in a more sophisticated and put-together manner.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Ian sounds a lot like Ed Orgeron, except for, you know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: all the... Sophisticated in the lack of accent. Anyway, 303-504-0925,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: back after this.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Shorty got low. All right.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: So, big thanks to Jared Bednard, 8 o'clock, to Ian Eagle,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: who just joined us. Gosh, he is just the best.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: He'll be on the call this weekend for the Broncos
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: and Chargers game. Walking up to.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Another Ion saying, hey, I am also married to an Ion.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: And Zeri just going, so? It's like you built up
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the courage to go up and say, I'm also married
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to another Ion. And he stares at you and goes, so?
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: You going to buy my lotions?
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Dude, that's just, it cracks me up so hard because
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: I would never, like, I get approached by people.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, hey.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, everybody.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Big celeb on the show.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: My bad.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, he gets approached.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: I'm not. No worries.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: It's called being solicited. You and Jen York get approached, huh?
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: So, the fact of the matter. I could never imagine, though,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: going to somebody says something like that. Oh, you know what? Hey,
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: my husband's name is Mark with a C. And I go. So?
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Like a total ass. That's kind of revealing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Something interesting in there, though, from the last time he
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: talked to Peyton, I misheard him. I thought he said
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: he talked to him already this week. But he said
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: the last time.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: He talked to him. He's talking about the Jacksonville game. Yes, yes.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: When he relayed the story, though, I don't think this
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: is a small detail. When he relayed the story of
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: when Jim Fossil took away play-calling duties from him, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: do think that that matters. for his, his, um, I
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: don't know. It feels like a lot of people have
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: this belief that if things don't turn around in like
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: a week or two, that he's just going to snatch
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: play calling duties away. And I don't think he's going
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: to do that from Davis Webb. I don't think so. Like,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I think he's pretty pot committed to this.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And I think that he'll go back to how
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: he felt when, when fossil did that to him.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Exactly right.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: And I'm sure that had an impact on his life
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: and he wants to have an impact in a positive
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: way on Davis Webb's life and, And, Vicki, you broke
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: it down a little bit earlier as you got, I guess,
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: a nanner or whatever it is that's going on and
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: you're chewing your cud. The fact of the matter is,
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: like a cow, the fact of the matter is that
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: I don't see an issue with the play calling overall.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: You broke down those wide open guys down field. Listen,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: spread formation on third and one and trying to play
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: action when you haven't even established the run, okay, fine.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: But you know, there are plays that are called that
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: just aren't executed too. First of all, I'm not breaking
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: down anything. I'm just relaying stuff that's on the internet.
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: And now that the all 22 video is available to
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: anyone and everyone who gets, you know, the NFL stuff, right.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: You can all see it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: San Francisco stayed in a two deep safety look and
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: crossing patterns were open. Several of them, 20, 30 yards
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: down the field, middle of the field was open and
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: he chose not to go there for whatever reason. He's
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: middle of the field of verse.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: It's there, guys. I mean, I don't know what else
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: to tell you. We saw it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: It's there.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: The plays are there.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, texture says you can't sacrifice a season for Davis Webb,
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: and you aren't asking the right question, I don't think.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: You're asking, the question should be, is Webb the problem?
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: But can I ask this another way? Wouldn't you rather
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: the problem be Davis Webb? I would much rather want
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: to live in a world in which my quarterback is
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: not doing well because he's not being put in the
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: right position rather than the opposite of Davis Webb is
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: doing his job well, the quarterback is not executing it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: That's worse.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: I completely agree with you, yes. Completely agree.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Because then forget trying to find another. You know, there's
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: an old Mitch Hedberg joke about escalators can't break. They
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: can only become stairs. That's Sean Payton and Davis Webb.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: If Davis Webb doesn't work, worst case scenario, Sean Payton,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: who's called plays for 20 years, calls plays again. Bo
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Nix doesn't work. That's a big problem. Because that means
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: you're changing the entire construction of your franchise in a
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: couple years. And so, again, I am still holding out.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I told you.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: But, Brett, I don't even want to get into, nor
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: do I want to entertain the thought of Bo Nix
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: not working. Well, hang on, Mike. I don't think it's
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: a viable option in my head right now.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: You have two years of evidence for Bo Nix. We
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: have a pretty good idea of who this guy is, okay?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: And one thing I know about Bo Nix is he
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: starts seasons slow. This is around the time where his
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: seasons start to turn and you start to get a
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: different perception of who he is as a quarterback. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going to withhold total judgment on him for at
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: least another month. You know, we get midway through the
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: season or more. You just need, I think, a little
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: bit more evidence because this is kind of what he's
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: done in the first four weeks every year. And you
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: combine on top of that, it's not like they've had
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: a cakewalk here in the first four weeks of the season.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: No, they have not.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: You're playing against really difficult teams that put you in
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: really pressure-packed situations. And you don't have a running game
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: to rely on right now either.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: You know, for the longest time, though, you can never
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: see what a quarterback sees. And we don't know what
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: the play call is. But this All-22 has changed.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: All of that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: We still don't know what the play call was. We
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: still don't know what the primary receiver is. We still
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: don't know where he's instructed to go with the ball.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of answers we don't have.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: So it's easy to look at that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Who's your first read?
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Who's your second read?
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: Who's the third? Like all that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: We just don't know that. We just know for, for
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: whatever reason, it's not working.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: This offense isn't doing what it's supposed to do. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: San Francisco was obviously hyped to play that game.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: We know Dre Greenlaw was, but do you think they'll face,
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know what, where would you rank the San
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: Francisco defense versus others are going to face Seattle's defense
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: is better.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: It is better.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Seattle's coming up here in 10 days. That defense is better.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: The Niners' defense overall, Vic, has been pretty good to
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: start the year. It's been pretty good.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Heck, Seattle's in eight days.
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: I say, yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: It's a week from tomorrow night.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Oh, sheesh. What a turnaround.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Seattle is far and away the best defense in the league.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: But the Niners are seventh, I think, in yards allowed
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: per game. They're As far as points per game, they
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: are number three in the league. Like, yeah, it's a
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: really good defense. Really good. And you faced– think about
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: this for a second. And points allowed per game this year.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Niners are third in the league. Jacksonville is second. The
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Seahawks are fifth, and the Chiefs are sixth.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Holy crap.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: You faced some good teams with good defenses. So, maybe
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: we off– See, now you're changing my mind a little bit.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Cut him some slack a little bit.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe some grace.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: Cut a little slack here.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: For the record, the Rams are second in the league
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: in yards allowed per game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Well, they put up the most points they have all
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: season in that game.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: So, again, the teams that you've played so far, or
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: let's just do this, the teams that you will play
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: for the first six weeks. Seahawks are number one in
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: yards allowed per game. The Rams are number two. The
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Niners are number seven. The Chiefs are top ten. But
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: all those teams are points allowed right there at the top. Like,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: you're playing against good teams. And I'm with people. Bo
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Nix shouldn't be missing wide open receivers downfield. Maybe the
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: play calling can be a little bit better. You certainly
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: can run the ball better. You also have played very,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: very good teams. And that's kind of what they do.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: You know, if you play the bad boy Pistons, Vic,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can expect to put up 115
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: points against them. Even if your offense should play better
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: than they did in that game. So, Just something to
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: keep in mind, perspective.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: A little bit.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Game tonight, 5.30 right here on 92.5. It is the
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Avs against Winnipeg.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: Moj. Do whatever it takes to win.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It's the Johnson Auto Plaza.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Keys to the game.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Johnson Auto Plaza.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Experience the power of the plaza, where they have the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: keys to performance and style with Ram, Jeep, Chevy, Buick,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and GMC, and a huge selection of used all in
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: one place.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Johnson Auto Plaza.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Here's Mosher, Lombardi, and Kane.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Again, 5.30, Avs at Jets.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, Mosher. Pretty easy tonight. The Winnipeg Jets right
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: now to start off the season, they're 2-0-1. But they
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: really are, in my opinion, kind of a one-line team
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: right now in terms of the bulk of their scoring.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: And Kyle Conner's off to a great start. Five points
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: in his first three games. Two things. Really get on
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: that Jets top line. I mean, really, really have your
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: top pair out there whenever they're out there on the
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: ice the best you possibly can. I know the Jets
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: will be looking forward. a matchup that favors them, but
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: really focus on that Jets top line. And number two,
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: you need to pepper Skinner in a big-time way. I mean,
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: absolutely pepper Skinner. I want to find out what this
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: guy has, really, because the Jets ain't faced a team
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: like this one so far, and they're coming off a
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: loss to Boston. Let's find out. Pittsburgh. I forget which one.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Dang it. But pepper the snot out of them. That's
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: what you need to do. It's pretty simple.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: It took a long time to get there.
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I did.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: The answer you're looking for is they've played. They just
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: played Pittsburgh.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh. Why don't you have Boston? Why don't you
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: have Pittsburgh?
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: They opened the season against Boston.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy. I don't want that guy doing anything.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: They beat Boston. They lost to Pittsburgh.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: And who's the guy that always plays well against the Avs, Moshe?
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Every single time Winnipeg plays well.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Conor Adam Lowry. Lowry.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Who's the guy that tried to get in my face?
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: No, those Connors.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Kyle Conner? Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember when you were
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: sitting in those seats? It was Adam Lowry who was
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: big knucklehead. When you were sitting in the good seats?
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when he was mocking me.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he did mock you.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Hold on a second.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: What?
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: I just pulled a Hastings.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: What?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I threw an S on Connor.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Hey, let me tell you something. There's nothing wrong with
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: throwing an S on anything.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: That Kyle Connors? I like him.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Keys to the game, brought to you by Johnson Auto Plaza,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: a huge selection of Chevy, Buick, GMC, Ram, and Jeep
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: all in one place. Experience the power of the plaza
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: at Johnson Auto Plaza.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Skinner's goals against average is like a 2.9, something like that,
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: but his save percentage is only 9.08. I want to
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: see that go down tonight.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Is that who Conor's going to play tonight or not?
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: You know what, that's a great question. They're on the
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: ice right now, Vic. We'll have an answer in 22 minutes.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Don't know. But Coach Bednar did say, obviously today, that
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: both guys should expect to play on this trip, whether
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: it's tonight or tomorrow night.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: You can listen to us anywhere in the world on
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: the Altitude Sports Radio app. It is powered by the
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Wilhite Law Firm. Andrew Lurie is going to WilhiteWins.com. That's WilhiteWins.com.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: As we round things out, Avs play tonight at 530
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: against the Jets. Ian Eagle joined us. Jared Bednar joined us.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Both of those will be on the podcast shortly. I
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: have a question. You guys happened to see some of
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: the things that were said by the owners of the
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Rockies yesterday.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: It's weird because it's Walker Monfort who's addressing the media
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: at the end of the season. There does have this
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: cloud hanging over of lame duck ownership. It does feel
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: like the Penners at some point are taking this thing.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: Over Well, only if the Monforts agree.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: But that's, I mean, this is what we've heard, though, most.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: They already have a gigantic stake in the Rockies right now,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: and the rumors are that at some point in the
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: near-ish future that they will be the majority owners of
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: that team. So who knows? Maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I think it will.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: But they were talking about increasing ticket prices for next
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: year for season ticket holders. And Nellie, do you have
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the clip at the ready here? Okay, you'll grab it
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: in a second. I know this is always a contentious
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: subject for people every year that, you know, whether your
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: team has success or failure or whatever, nobody likes to
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: hear that prices are going up.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Nobody wants prices to go up on anything, right?
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Price of eggs. They've gone up.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Getting tough out here for eggs.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: I just can't tell you.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: I don't know if people understand how much revenue the
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: Rockies lost. when their regional sports network went away.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: Moj, can you explain how much revenue was lost there?
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: And it was for a team like the Rockies, mind you, where,
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: you know, they're not Guggenheim, all right?
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: This isn't Guggenheim here. They need that money. And it's
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: gone in the blink.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Of an eye.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: And this is a sport. You can only spend the
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: money you have. There is no, hey, everybody, you spend
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: up to this dollar amount, and then that's... It's the
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: money you got. Whatever money you got is what you use.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: You know, I sent out a tweet over the weekend, Vic.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: I guess this is related. I'm so glad that we survived,
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: you know, that our owner had the vision and our
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: bosses were able to put it together and have the
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: vision and survive all that because we were the national
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: guinea pig. Hold on.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: I'm ready to get Twitch.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: I don't want to hear about lost revenue with an RSN. Vic,
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: I don't care how much they lost because of the
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: regional network stuff. I'm not asking you to care. I'm
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: giving you a reason.
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: That's all.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: I don't expect you to care about how much money
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: millionaires and billionaires lose. I agree with you. I mean,
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: that's not my problem. I'm telling you what a fact is.
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: And the fact is, losing that revenue factored into what
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: they're doing.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: I'm tying it together for you.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: They're in the hole pretty big because of it. They're
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: in the hole pretty big because of it. I was watching...
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: the Minnesota Wild broadcast last night, and you realize they
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: don't have an RSN anymore. All their games are produced
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: by the National Hockey League.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Do you realize that we're one of the last of
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: the Mohicans?
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and when you looked at their set... Trash. Yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Trash broadcast, trash.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: A lot of trash. I honestly cannot believe what it's
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: been reduced to. It was very eye-opening to me, and
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh my, because it's new... I just can't
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: believe it.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Um, well, here's, here's, here's what the Monfort said yesterday.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Please, please do. Yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: Listen, you know, in the end, I mean, over the past,
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: as you mentioned, three, four years, it's been difficult baseball. Um,
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: and even, you know, prior to that, I think we, we,
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: for the most part kept our season tickets flat. Um,
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: while others were increasing at a, I think it's like
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: a four and a half percent rate on average in MLB. Um,
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: We didn't increase over that period of time.
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: We met internally.
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: Probably three or four months ago about what our plan was. Ultimately,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: it's about bridging the gap between where the Rockies are
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: at from a revenue perspective to closer to the average
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: or even the average of our mid-market peers.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Look, again, this isn't This isn't a capped sport where
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: there's revenue sharing to the point of everybody spends the
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: same amount of money. You aren't working in the same
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: pool as others, so you need more cash. Now, same time,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many Rockies season ticket holders are
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: out there. I don't even know what that number is.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: But on the surface, just holistically, looking at the Rocks,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: if I asked you this question, do you believe... in
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: the direction the Rockies are going right now? Do you
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: feel like you're okay with where they're, organizationally, where they're headed?
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: Well, I feel like they've made a couple good choices. And,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: you know, I like the kids in the outfield. But
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: I don't really know what the direction is, Brett. I
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: don't know what the plan is for arms or anything
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: else that's not been enunciated to us.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: I tell you this much.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: It's not been laid out, but it certainly seemed like
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: this year, until the last six weeks, this year was
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: better than it was last year by a mile. It
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: felt that way anyway.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: I think that the new people in charge, specifically DePodesta,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: has a plan to be a little bit different, which
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I like. I told you, I think their plan this offseason,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: they spent last offseason cultivating a lineup of young, talented players,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: and it worked. I think that's going to happen with
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: the pitching staff this offseason. Now, can they be as
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: successful as they were last year with what they did
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: in the lineup? Maybe, maybe not. But there's another thing here,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: and we mentioned it earlier. I mean, the direction's one
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: thing with who's in charge right now of the team.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: The other thing is the Penners might be coming in
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: here at some point soon. And also, you could be
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: looking at a sport that is completely different a year
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: or two years from now as far as if they
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: get the cap implemented in baseball.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Vic. I don't know what the Monforts
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: can or cannot do through a lost season because I'm
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: feeling like we are definitely going to have a lost season.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: When the World Series ends, that's the last you'll see
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: of baseball for quite some time. That's my thought because
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: you have no more– you have no stronger players' union
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: in sports– And no more stubborn and absolutely– how do
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: I even put it? Stubborn, I guess, is just the
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: simplest way to put it. Players union at the same time.
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: And agents who represent baseball players. They absolutely will fight
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: to the death to avoid a salary cap. And I
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: think it's a fool's errand if they do because that's
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: what the sport needs. It's very simple to see. For
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: various reasons.
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: I'm just looking at local television revenues in– in baseball,
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: and most of the teams just don't make anything. Those
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: revenues have been cut in half because of the regional
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: sports networks falling apart and the Rockies are among that group.
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: They're not making nearly what they did five years ago
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: until you get to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: So most revenue is brought in by baseball teams locally.
• 39:50
  Speaker 7: Average around $ 30, $ 40 million locally.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Do you know what the Dodgers bring in? In the hundreds, right?
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: Their last projection was $ 320 million.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah. That's crazy. What about the Yankees or the Red Sox?
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you right now. Red Sox are at $ 100 million.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: Yankees are at $ 143 million. $ 143 million.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's just, it is what it is.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: But you know what?
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: The same thing happens in basketball. The Lakers local media
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: deal is insane. It's insanity if you look at it.
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: And that's money that's theirs.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: Right. They don't share it. Right.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. 303-504-0925. Shop Mazda. Text line one price, one person,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: one hour. So again.
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: No skate for me today, by the way. No skate.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: Really appreciate that information.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: In fact, the Avs are probably off the ice right
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: now or just getting off the ice over at the rink.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: And I'm sitting here talking to you, Jokers, so no
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: skate for Moj today.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: Is this supposed to– because you do this a lot.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: Are we supposed to thank you for doing your job?
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: Is that where we're supposed to chime in and say, geez, Moj,
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: appreciate you gracing us with your presence for the last
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: 10 minutes of the show?
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: No, but I think what would be nice– is if
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: you acknowledge that my priority was to you guys today
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: and not to go over to the rink and see
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: what's going on with my hockey team.
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: Well, I've seen you at the rink during skate. I've
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: been there during skate. And the priority isn't to see skate.
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: Your priority is to just hobnob with people.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: You don't do a damn thing with skate.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, I watch.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, I've seen you.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: I've been there. I've observed. Trust me when I say this.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: You're not gleaning anything from skate.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: Well, I glean a lot that you physically could not
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: possibly even think about.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about power play through two games?
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Great and then crap. Yeah. And you know what? It's
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: funny because it only took the game two before the
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: second unit was getting on with 23 seconds left in
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: the power play. You know what I mean? It only
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: took until game two. There was one where the first
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: unit got off with about 58 seconds to go about
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: halfway through, right? But the other times it was under
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: 30 when the second unit actually got on the ice.
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, they get one rush. They get one
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: opportunity to get it into the zone, set up, and
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: then fire that pill because, you know, the first unit
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: kept trying and trying and trying.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: I'd like to see them fire a pig, too.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that, too. But you know what I mean. So
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: it only took one game. We'll see what happens tonight.
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: The PK has been outstanding so far. The penalty kill
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: has been really, really good.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: That was best in the league last year, right?
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: Yep, and even without Val... you know, who was a
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: big reason that the PK was successful in the past,
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: and Logan O'Connor, who's missed the first two games. The
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: PK has been good.
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: Play one hockey game with the carcass of a small pig.
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: What's a small pig, by the way? Pigs are pretty big.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: It's a small pig.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: A piglet?
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Well, it's comping hogs. What was the game? Was it Mongolian's?
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: who had like a goat's head. It was like, not lacrosse,
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: but you rode horses with a goat's head and you
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: tried to score it. Like water polo on horses with
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: a goat.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: I know I think the Aztecs had a game where
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: they used human heads.
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: We need to bring that back. Fire that head. We
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: can learn a thing or two from the ancient Aztecs.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Nelly, fact checker, please.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Nelly monitors the mistakes in today's Fact Checker.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: Fact Checker.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Presented by Bacchus and Shanker. Serious lawyers for the seriously injured.
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: We had Ian Eagle on the show today, and as
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: is tradition, we tasked him with incorporating a phrase into
• 43:53
  Speaker 9: his commentary and He said that he would do his
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: best to work in he's a good kid, but the
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: good news is if he's not able to put it
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: into his broadcast, we have this.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: He's a good kid.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: So we got it anyway.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: We got one.
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: And then, Vic, you asked what's a phrase that you
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: should incorporate into your high school football commentary coming up
• 44:13
  Speaker 9: this weekend, and I would suggest, you remember a few
• 44:16
