- 1:53Speaker 6: rolling over in his grave. And then I was like,

- 7:01Speaker 4: Listen, I mean I had This is not a joke.
- 7:04Speaker 5: This is not a joke.
- 7:05Speaker 4: I have seriously heard someone say in sports, in sports
- 7:10Speaker 4: that not only is AI a tool that these front
- 7:14Speaker 4: offices should be using right now, that AI is going
- 7:16Speaker 4: to become the number one tool. And I'm like, can
- 7:19Speaker 4: I mean, I can't imagine artificial intelligence?
- 7:23Speaker 5: Is that going to replay? Can you replace John Wallace?
- 7:26Speaker 3: Do you want to know?
- 7:27Speaker 7: You want to know that the most ridiculous tax rule
- 7:32Speaker 7: that applies, and it applies to Tyler Columbus.
- 7:34Speaker 3: He's the only one of the three of the four
- 7:36Speaker 3: of us here.
- 7:38Speaker 7: When you're a professional athlete and you play in all.
- 7:41Speaker 3: These cities, you so if you go play a football.
- 7:47Speaker 7: Game in La, you pay LA taxes. Do you go
- 7:50Speaker 7: play a football game in New York. You pay New
- 7:54Speaker 7: York taxes. It is one of the dumbest things I've
- 7:56Speaker 7: ever heard of. And I'm not sure why they do it.
- 7:59Speaker 7: And I'm saying that because we broadcast in those cities. Yeah,
- 8:03Speaker 7: why am I not paying?
- 8:04Speaker 2: I only paid Colorado tax Yeah, so why does.
- 8:06Speaker 7: It apply just to you, Tyler? Not the common person?
- 8:10Speaker 7: Other people are salespeople, they go work in other cities.
- 8:12Speaker 7: Why don't they pay those taxes?
- 8:14Speaker 1: It wasn't paid in the butt, but depending on what
- 8:16Speaker 1: state you were playing in, every now and then go
- 8:19Speaker 1: somewhere else. Although when I was in Seattle that that
- 8:23Speaker 1: was that was rough. No, that was good. That was
- 8:25Speaker 1: good out there for a minute and then it changed.
- 8:30Speaker 7: So how the hell would you do your You'd have
- 8:31Speaker 7: to have a professional just you can't do those your Yeah.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I got a sports guy, you know. They agent said
- 8:39Speaker 1: here's a guy. I said, hey, guy, here's my stuff,
- 8:41Speaker 1: and he told me what to.
- 8:42Speaker 4: File and You're like, that's me and he's yeah, yeah,
- 8:45Speaker 4: so oh.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Did you guys see uh Tyler Dirton and uh yeah.
- 8:49Speaker 4: We we were just talking about yeah yeah, and me
- 8:51Speaker 4: and Vic Vic what right, what's the first thing that
- 8:53Speaker 4: came to mind? First thing I came it set next.
- 8:56Speaker 7: To Edward Norton, the announcer, and I'm not sure who
- 8:59Speaker 7: called that game should have said uh something about five
- 9:02Speaker 7: clos we don't know exactly, and there was no mention
- 9:05Speaker 7: of ed Norton, like.
- 9:06Speaker 6: Did RECOGNI not only just that the celebrity sightings I
- 9:10Speaker 6: think have been one of the worst aspects of the
- 9:13Speaker 6: World Cup broadcast night.
- 9:15Speaker 2: They did better last night Paris Hilton.
- 9:19Speaker 6: There have been other matches though, where it's just like
- 9:21Speaker 6: the broadcasters they have no idea who they're just guys.
- 9:24Speaker 2: And they even said last night on.
- 9:26Speaker 6: The telecast like we get the international feed, like we
- 9:28Speaker 6: have no control over what they're giving us, so like
- 9:31Speaker 6: replays and crowd shots and celebrity shots and everything else.
- 9:35Speaker 6: It's just like, Okay, there's one single international feed and
- 9:38Speaker 6: then the Fox broadcasters. They've got to be able to
- 9:40Speaker 6: adjust to it. By the way, did you guys have
- 9:43Speaker 6: an issue last night? Did you guys get the Canadian
- 9:47Speaker 6: broadcast last night? During the game, which I don't know,
- 9:51Speaker 6: it was so bizarre. No, they kept being like turkey a.
- 9:59Speaker 7: Get out, get out, kick them out, get them out of.
- 10:04Speaker 5: Damn it.
- 10:04Speaker 4: Man, I can't believe I have felt it.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Can I ask two serious questions about soccer? Yeah, I
- 10:09Speaker 1: got to them first. One, why can't you run out
- 10:13Speaker 1: of subs? Like like like why like like I know
- 10:15Speaker 1: everybody's gonna tell me this whole thing about like conditioning,
- 10:18Speaker 1: and they used to be three.
- 10:20Speaker 2: They used to only be two.
- 10:22Speaker 6: Okay, it was two and then it was three, and
- 10:25Speaker 6: now you can get five, okay.
- 10:26Speaker 7: Cause the sport is durability.
- 10:30Speaker 2: You got you gotta be able to last and and that.
- 10:33Speaker 1: So, so what does a manager do well, like like
- 10:36Speaker 1: like what what what are they doing the whole time
- 10:37Speaker 1: if they can't even sub guys in and out?
- 10:39Speaker 6: Well, they manage tactics, really they they they organize set pieces,
- 10:44Speaker 6: et cetera.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm here for unlimited subs because you know what
- 10:48Speaker 1: unlimited subs would be. It would be exciting. You get
- 10:50Speaker 1: more acts, you get guys with fresh legs, and they
- 10:52Speaker 1: go out there and they score goals.
- 10:53Speaker 6: I mean, part of the issue for Team U s
- 10:55Speaker 6: A two was like four dudes on yellow cards last night.
- 10:57Speaker 2: They didn't want to put it out there.
- 10:59Speaker 3: That was it.
- 10:59Speaker 7: That wasn't Team USA last night. And anybody who's upset
- 11:01Speaker 7: about the results of the game. I mean understand, those
- 11:04Speaker 7: are dudes, a lot of them. The first touches you
- 11:06Speaker 7: could see it too, the first touches weren't there.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Oh that's Zen de Has guy that came on late.
- 11:11Speaker 3: It was awful that dude was played left left wing there.
- 11:14Speaker 7: Whoever played that left side couldn't figure out when to
- 11:17Speaker 7: be off sides on sides.
- 11:18Speaker 3: It was.
- 11:18Speaker 7: It was not good that. Don't be worried about that
- 11:21Speaker 7: US performance. They have not played together either exactly. Yeah, no,
- 11:25Speaker 7: it was. It was a It was a sloppy affair.
- 11:28Speaker 7: They were better in the second half.
- 11:29Speaker 6: I don't think it was a coincidence than when Policit
- 11:32Speaker 6: came on like that looked much better. Team looked at
- 11:34Speaker 6: hell of a lot better. But my god, the marking
- 11:36Speaker 6: in that first half. But also in a part of
- 11:37Speaker 6: the issue is those guys just like they haven't played
- 11:39Speaker 6: matches together, you know, like they haven't trained together enough.
- 11:42Speaker 6: They haven't played matches together enough. It was no like
- 11:45Speaker 6: I thought, Poachtino played that game last night exactly as
- 11:47Speaker 6: he needed to. Uh, you know, he got the limited
- 11:50Speaker 6: time he needed out of Polistic. That Burholter goal was sick.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Can we give Austin Trusty some can we give a
- 11:56Speaker 4: former color on a rapid some left man.
- 11:58Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin trust second.
- 11:59Speaker 6: Yeah, he played well, I did. It was a shame
- 12:02Speaker 6: you coughed up the game at the end of it.
- 12:05Speaker 6: But Turkey was playing desperate. In Team USA, it was
- 12:07Speaker 6: just like, okay, let's just get their ninety eight minutes.
- 12:10Speaker 7: You want to see me blow Tyler Palumbus's mind here.
- 12:12Speaker 7: I brought this up in the last segment. I want
- 12:14Speaker 7: to I want to see with Tyler how he responds
- 12:16Speaker 7: to this. If the US team were to achieve the impossible,
- 12:20Speaker 7: if the US were to advance to the finals of
- 12:23Speaker 7: the World Cup, play that championship game in the middle
- 12:25Speaker 7: leands in my opinion, and you guys tell me, if
- 12:28Speaker 7: I'm offered, it would be the most watched sporting event
- 12:31Speaker 7: in US history.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Probably because just just because the novelty of it is
- 12:35Speaker 1: something we've never done. And you know how Eric could be, Hey, hey,
- 12:38Speaker 1: we won it your sport, right like that? That Yeah,
- 12:41Speaker 1: I actually agree with that along those lines though, Vic
- 12:43Speaker 1: And here's my second question about about soccer.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Turkey.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Turkey A Turkey A celebrated that win like they just
- 12:51Speaker 1: won the World Cup because.
- 12:53Speaker 7: It's all they had.
- 12:54Speaker 3: They they they needed to get something, they need to.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Win, what they needed to get on the plane to
- 12:59Speaker 1: go home. I know, I know, but not even as
- 13:02Speaker 1: would would you? Would we not be mocking our guys
- 13:04Speaker 1: for celebrating the way they just celebrated winning that game.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get it. I literally do not
- 13:09Speaker 1: understand the concept of celebrating that win in the manner
- 13:13Speaker 1: that they did.
- 13:13Speaker 6: I mean, the Rockies still celebrate when they win a
- 13:16Speaker 6: football game, right dead last. I mean, the Cleveland Browns
- 13:19Speaker 6: still get excited if they win a football.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Game with the Rockies. Are you trying to tell me,
- 13:25Speaker 4: as a football player, there was you never celebrated a
- 13:28Speaker 4: game in the NFL where you're like.
- 13:30Speaker 5: We didn't really deserve that one, but.
- 13:31Speaker 2: We're on our way to a top five pick.
- 13:33Speaker 1: But I don't know, see, conceptually, no, not a playoff game,
- 13:37Speaker 1: not not no, no, because that that would be like
- 13:40Speaker 1: a regular season game. Something's going on like that. This
- 13:43Speaker 1: is like a playoff game. This is like, this is
- 13:45Speaker 1: what's going on. You know, we did not achieve the goal,
- 13:48Speaker 1: They did not achieve any goal whatsoever.
- 13:50Speaker 7: Yeah, but they played for pride once they ran out
- 13:52Speaker 7: of that goal. All they could do is go home
- 13:54Speaker 7: to Turkey.
- 13:57Speaker 4: Well, what do you guys think about there? There are
- 13:59Speaker 4: some fans who hammer Major League Baseball players who celebrate
- 14:03Speaker 4: when they go crazy just clinch at a playoff spot or
- 14:06Speaker 4: you know, make it out of the divisional runs.
- 14:08Speaker 5: You know what I'm talking about.
- 14:09Speaker 2: But that makes sense.
- 14:10Speaker 6: And yeah, they progressed, and I will never understand that
- 14:13Speaker 6: criticism of it, Like.
- 14:15Speaker 5: Yeah, have a good time going and go crazy.
- 14:16Speaker 2: One sixty two is a friggin grind.
- 14:20Speaker 5: Okay, celebrate you get.

- 15:13Speaker 7: Oh?
- 15:13Speaker 3: No, I invited because I've I've banged my head.
- 15:15Speaker 7: Against the wall here and yeah, trying to figure out
- 15:18Speaker 7: what the next move might be.
- 15:19Speaker 2: You tell me, okay? Uh?
- 15:21Speaker 6: So I did this yesterday with with Mike Sandford on
- 15:24Speaker 6: Kreikman and Lyndall, but I want to I want to
- 15:26Speaker 6: throw to you Vic. So as you know, Joannis got
- 15:30Speaker 6: traded to the to the Heat earlier this week or
- 15:33Speaker 6: I guess last week, whatever day it was.
- 15:35Speaker 2: What day is today? Anyway?
- 15:37Speaker 6: So in that trade, the Bucks got Tyler Hero and
- 15:41Speaker 6: Kloe Ware and Cosparracy, Akashonas and Jimi Hawkes and then
- 15:45Speaker 6: a whole bunch of draft pick compensation, right, I think
- 15:47Speaker 6: it was like three first in a second. But there
- 15:49Speaker 6: was one other thing that they got in that trade,
- 15:52Speaker 6: and uh and it's got me intrigued. The Milwaukee Bucks
- 15:57Speaker 6: have a twenty five million dollar trade exit.
- 16:00Speaker 4: Oh oh, and you can trade those.
- 16:02Speaker 2: You can trade that.
- 16:03Speaker 6: Like what a trade exception means is is that's just
- 16:06Speaker 6: a free twenty not free, but a twenty five million
- 16:09Speaker 6: dollars slot, okay, and you can ship that off to
- 16:12Speaker 6: another team.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Hold on, this is like straight out of Monopoly exactly,
- 16:16Speaker 1: you know, for real, Like I feel like an idiot
- 16:18Speaker 1: here because I don't know anything about that.
- 16:20Speaker 2: A lot of teams don't use their trade exception, No
- 16:22Speaker 2: they don't.
- 16:22Speaker 6: The Nuggets had one a couple of years ago and
- 16:25Speaker 6: they and they never used it.
- 16:26Speaker 4: This is one of those things that you can't use
- 16:28Speaker 4: if you're in the second apron, Like you're just not allowed.
- 16:30Speaker 6: Oh I can't guarantee that, but probably I would assume so.
- 16:36Speaker 6: But the way it works is that you can you
- 16:38Speaker 6: can use that exception to acquire a player, and there
- 16:40Speaker 6: doesn't have to be a corresponding matching salary sent back,
- 16:44Speaker 6: so so essentially it allows you to be able to
- 16:48Speaker 6: then just add a piece while not actually giving up
- 16:52Speaker 6: anything of value, like a basketball player or multiple basketball players,
- 16:56Speaker 6: and for the team that's sending the player out, they
- 16:59Speaker 6: can just jump salary. Okay, So twenty five million dollars,
- 17:05Speaker 6: is there anybody that the Nuggets could potentially be looking
- 17:08Speaker 6: at a move Christian Brown, that are earning right or
- 17:10Speaker 6: so exactly okay, so Cam Johnson boom right there, like
- 17:15Speaker 6: the if Milwaukee wanted Cam Johnson for one year, and
- 17:19Speaker 6: I'm not sure why they would because they have a
- 17:22Speaker 6: build in front of them, but maybe they just want
- 17:24Speaker 6: to get Cam in the door and figure out if
- 17:25Speaker 6: they like him and then decide, oh, we could pay him,
- 17:27Speaker 6: or we could move him at the deadline, or whatever
- 17:29Speaker 6: it is he becomes an asset for them. Or if
- 17:33Speaker 6: the Bucks were to say, all right, we have got
- 17:35Speaker 6: a new direction and a new culture shift, and we're
- 17:38Speaker 6: we're building around this young talent that we acquired in
- 17:40Speaker 6: the Yannis trade and a good athletic wing defender who
- 17:46Speaker 6: can run the floor and is an improving three point
- 17:49Speaker 6: shooter and is a proven winner and a good leader
- 17:53Speaker 6: and a good culture guy like Christian Brown. This guy
- 17:56Speaker 6: could be perfect for what we're trying to construct right now.
- 18:00Speaker 6: The Milwaukee Bucks and their twenty five million dollar trade exception.
- 18:05Speaker 6: Tenser and Wallace need to be banging down the door
- 18:08Speaker 6: to figure out some way to use that as a
- 18:11Speaker 6: lifeline to the Nuggets many contractual issues, so.
- 18:14Speaker 7: Then basically yours just dumping salary. Yep, Yeah, you're dumping
- 18:18Speaker 7: a salary, dumping a player.
- 18:19Speaker 4: SI, so you think, but so would that clear? Almost
- 18:22Speaker 4: fifty million is what you're knowing?
- 18:24Speaker 3: How much?
- 18:24Speaker 7: Knowing that clear? Because you get that.
- 18:26Speaker 6: So the way the trade exception works is it's the
- 18:29Speaker 6: twenty five million Bucks for the twenty six twenty seven season.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Anything beyond that, the Bucks are on the hook. Okay,
- 18:35Speaker 6: So if you want to trade Christian Brown and his
- 18:37Speaker 6: five years, hundred twenty five million, well the Bucks have
- 18:40Speaker 6: to pay the entirety of that deal, but you can
- 18:42Speaker 6: use it for this upcoming season and the money just
- 18:45Speaker 6: goes off the Nuggets books.
- 18:47Speaker 3: Okay.
- 18:48Speaker 7: I just think it's uh, it's it's you've been thinking about.
- 18:51Speaker 3: This, and I appreciate your diligence.
- 18:52Speaker 2: I'm triumphantly.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's it's great.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:55Speaker 7: The other thing is is basically trying to trade contracts
- 18:59Speaker 7: for picks. If you I guarantee they tried that on
- 19:02Speaker 7: draft night, yeat, and it didn't work out. They tried
- 19:04Speaker 7: that on Draft night and they couldn't unhand themselves.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Of those otherwise they would have moved up. Or was
- 19:09Speaker 2: that bad?
- 19:10Speaker 3: Right? I don't know what the next move is.
- 19:14Speaker 7: I know this, You're not signing Peyton Watson unless you
- 19:17Speaker 7: unleash one of those contracts.
- 19:18Speaker 6: Yeah, somebody's gonna going to happen. Yeah, somebody absolutely has
- 19:22Speaker 6: to go. And you know they acquire a couple of
- 19:25Speaker 6: more second rounders, Like, would that be enough to entice Milwauk,
- 19:27Speaker 6: Because if you were going to sell a team on
- 19:29Speaker 6: Christian Brown as a straight salary dump move, you're gonna
- 19:32Speaker 6: have to add other assets to the trade, whether it
- 19:34Speaker 6: be draft pick or a player or whatever, because that
- 19:36Speaker 6: team has taken on one hundred and twenty five million dollars.
- 19:39Speaker 6: I mean, a part of the Nuggets issue, guys, is
- 19:41Speaker 6: that every other team in the NBA knows what the
- 19:45Speaker 6: Nuggets books say, and and so they're like, well, we
- 19:48Speaker 6: don't need to go out of our way to add
- 19:51Speaker 6: extra assets to any kind of trade because we know
- 19:55Speaker 6: you're trying to dump salary. Like the Nuggets are not
- 19:58Speaker 6: operating from a position of strength right now. But but
- 20:02Speaker 6: but that doesn't cause me to say, like they've got
- 20:05Speaker 6: no chance all be honest with you, guys, last year,
- 20:08Speaker 6: I didn't think there was a prayer in hell they
- 20:10Speaker 6: could trade Michael Porter.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Right, and they pulled it off.
- 20:13Speaker 6: I didn't think there would be a team in the
- 20:14Speaker 6: NBA that would look at his back issues in his
- 20:17Speaker 6: contract and say, oh, we're dying to have that, but
- 20:19Speaker 6: they found it.
- 20:20Speaker 3: I made this case, and I want to get you
- 20:21Speaker 3: guys thoughts on it.
- 20:22Speaker 7: I said a year ago, all right, last August, after
- 20:25Speaker 7: the Nuggets had polished off that roster, and they did
- 20:27Speaker 7: all the wheeling and dealing in the offseason, and we
- 20:30Speaker 7: looked at that roster on paper and we said, this
- 20:32Speaker 7: is the finest, deepest roster we've ever seen by the
- 20:35Speaker 7: Denver Nuggets. When we saw that assemblage of players, we said,
- 20:39Speaker 7: Ben Tenzer, John Wallace, you guys are my heroes.
- 20:42Speaker 3: I can't believe you pulled this off. Right.
- 20:44Speaker 7: We gave them all the praise and the plaudits in
- 20:46Speaker 7: the world. All I'm saying is, how do they go
- 20:49Speaker 7: from being that smart to now this that the roster
- 20:53Speaker 7: simply didn't work with The roster was a success on paper,
- 20:56Speaker 7: it was. It was a success on paper, but when
- 20:59Speaker 7: it got to the season, injuries and whatever else you
- 21:02Speaker 7: want to blame, it didn't work. It doesn't mean that
- 21:05Speaker 7: they weren't successful in what they did because they were
- 21:08Speaker 7: they did their jobs, and now they're gonna have to
- 21:10Speaker 7: dig even deeper to come out of this one. It's
- 21:13Speaker 7: gonna be even tougher for them to come out of
- 21:15Speaker 7: this one.
- 21:15Speaker 6: I mean, Tyler, you were on a team that won
- 21:17Speaker 6: a Super Bowl in twenty fifteen, Okay, like you can
- 21:21Speaker 6: speak to this all right. That was an excellent team.
- 21:24Speaker 6: You guys had a great defense and you played fantastic,
- 21:26Speaker 6: complimentary football.
- 21:28Speaker 2: But also, how did you guys win a championship that year?
- 21:31Speaker 6: Because because everything came together, Because everything came together, they
- 21:36Speaker 6: overcame injuries so early on and lucky they overcame the
- 21:40Speaker 6: Peyton Manning situation with brock Osweiler. But when you guys
- 21:43Speaker 6: played Super Bowl fifty, you guys had the same starting
- 21:46Speaker 6: eleven on defense that you had in Week one, which
- 21:48Speaker 6: almost never happens. You had, you know, fortunate run up
- 21:53Speaker 6: and the opponents that you got and the way that
- 21:54Speaker 6: that game won against New England, like you do have
- 21:57Speaker 6: to it just things have to go your way to
- 22:00Speaker 6: win a championship, yes.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Me, I mean, first off, like you do have to
- 22:04Speaker 1: have something generational to win championships. Most of the time,
- 22:08Speaker 1: we had a generational defense, so so we had that
- 22:11Speaker 1: going on. Do you want to know the game that
- 22:14Speaker 1: I said after the game to James Ferrence in the
- 22:17Speaker 1: locker room.
- 22:18Speaker 2: I turned to it and I go, dude, we're gonna
- 22:20Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl this year. Yes, I swear to God.
- 22:25Speaker 1: It was Cleveland.
- 22:26Speaker 3: I remember that game.
- 22:27Speaker 1: I swear to God when that game ended, and we
- 22:29Speaker 1: should have lost it twelve times over, including in overtime.
- 22:34Speaker 1: When Peyton comes out and throws the interception on our
- 22:36Speaker 1: first drive and then they get the ball. I can
- 22:39Speaker 1: barely remember the sequence that that followed, but they got
- 22:42Speaker 1: the ball on like our or on something like this,
- 22:48Speaker 1: and then we got two sacks pushed them back like
- 22:51Speaker 1: they were already in field goal range. They could just
- 22:54Speaker 1: kick the field goal won the game. You know, we
- 22:56Speaker 1: got two sacks backed them up and they had to
- 22:58Speaker 1: punt the ball back to us, and we end up
- 23:00Speaker 1: winning that game. I swear to you after that game.
- 23:03Speaker 1: To Vick's point, it does take a certain amount of luck.
- 23:06Speaker 1: The ball does have to bounce your way at least
- 23:08Speaker 1: three or four times per year.
- 23:10Speaker 7: Don't forget the fact that you went into the final
- 23:12Speaker 7: game of the regular season and you saw New England
- 23:15Speaker 7: lose home field advantage in the final game in the
- 23:17Speaker 7: regular season.
- 23:19Speaker 2: You don't.
- 23:19Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not.
- 23:20Speaker 7: Saying you don't, but it's much harder to win at
- 23:22Speaker 7: New England in the AFC Title Game than at home
- 23:25Speaker 7: that year.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Oh, I don't have to fall your way, you know.
- 23:28Speaker 1: I mean, could we have Yeah, of course. I doubt
- 23:31Speaker 1: if we win the Super Bowl that year if we
- 23:32Speaker 1: didn't have home field, I really do. I think going
- 23:36Speaker 1: on the road might have been a different story for
- 23:38Speaker 1: that team because our offense was just not good enough.
- 23:41Speaker 4: Well, if you're the Nuggets. If you're the Nuggets, at
- 23:43Speaker 4: what point does you get At what point do you
- 23:50Speaker 4: have to pull a Minnesota Timberwolves and take a high risk,
- 23:53Speaker 4: high reward move where you don't know if it's gonna
- 23:56Speaker 4: work out, You're not sure it's gonna work out. Like
- 23:59Speaker 4: our man massage you Jerry sometimes would make that kind
- 24:01Speaker 4: of trade, like, I don't know if this is gonna
- 24:02Speaker 4: work out, but we're gonna have to take a swing
- 24:04Speaker 4: at it.
- 24:04Speaker 6: Kyle has done multiple times the line. I mean, Connolly
- 24:07Speaker 6: did it with all those picks they gave up to
- 24:08Speaker 6: get Rudy Gobert in the first place. Then he trades
- 24:11Speaker 6: Karl Anthony Towns to get Julius Randall. Now he does
- 24:14Speaker 6: it to go and get LaMelo Ball and remake his team.
- 24:17Speaker 6: If there is an offseason to do it, this is
- 24:19Speaker 6: the one to do it for the Nuggets. But the
- 24:21Speaker 6: problem is you got to find a taker. And that's
- 24:24Speaker 6: the issue that you run into. Like Jamal Murray, great player,
- 24:27Speaker 6: but like you're moving a super max contract, which is
- 24:30Speaker 6: super hard to do. Aaron Gordon great player and a
- 24:33Speaker 6: movable contract at that number, But are team's gonna trust
- 24:36Speaker 6: that he's gonna be able to stay healthy? Do teams
- 24:38Speaker 6: want to commit to five years of Christian Brown? You
- 24:41Speaker 6: have to find somebody to be able to take it.
- 24:43Speaker 6: But back to something that Tyler said, you do have
- 24:46Speaker 6: to have something generational. And yet I'll say this for
- 24:48Speaker 6: both the Nuggets and the Avalanche, both teams that we
- 24:50Speaker 6: had high expectations for that ultimately came up short this year.
- 24:53Speaker 6: They both have something generational. They do Niccole Okich, Yeah, Okay,
- 24:57Speaker 6: Nathan McKinnon and Cale mccarr. There is the generational, Like
- 25:01Speaker 6: you've checked that box of it, but then you need
- 25:04Speaker 6: all the other stuff to come along with it, and
- 25:07Speaker 6: they didn't have it this season.
- 25:08Speaker 7: Well, losing the assets the draft picks doesn't help, you know,
- 25:11Speaker 7: being a bit reckless at times with second.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Rounders of the last three or four years really hurts you.
- 25:16Speaker 7: Now the difference, Like for the Avalanche, for example, yesterday,
- 25:20Speaker 7: you could look at a trade they send down the
- 25:22Speaker 7: chew skin to Columbus for three draft picks, and you can.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Call that a salary trade dump.
- 25:26Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, But is it a salary dump if you're
- 25:29Speaker 7: gonna use that salary for a different.
- 25:31Speaker 3: Position of need?
- 25:32Speaker 2: Yeah, way to pay bread dump boar?
- 25:33Speaker 7: Is that just we're gonna re We're gonna take that
- 25:36Speaker 7: money and it's not that we're.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Not gonna pocket that much.
- 25:38Speaker 7: Sure, we're gonna use it for a different position.
- 25:41Speaker 6: By the way, do you guys think they're gonna use
- 25:42Speaker 6: that extra six mil to sign one of their own guys?
- 25:45Speaker 6: Like that's what Raj was saying yesterday when he was
- 25:46Speaker 6: on with me, Like who you could turn that car.
- 25:49Speaker 6: You could use that to pay bred Kulak and and
- 25:53Speaker 6: get him extended and then if you want to acquire
- 25:55Speaker 6: another winger, like do that via trade.
- 25:57Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like that to me because if in
- 26:01Speaker 1: a salary dump. It just feels like that comes with
- 26:04Speaker 1: something else on the other side that's new, I.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Think, is it? The Abs now have like eleven million
- 26:11Speaker 4: dollars to work with. Yeah, and they're and listen. So
- 26:14Speaker 4: you send out Ross and Val and whom else? Jack
- 26:20Speaker 4: Dury trade So you got you moved out three guys,
- 26:24Speaker 4: you brought in the two youngsters, but you still need
- 26:27Speaker 4: to add to the roster, you know what I mean.
- 26:31Speaker 4: I think Joe Sack is going to do some work,
- 26:32Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see it does.
- 26:34Speaker 7: To me, it seems like you're just taking what was
- 26:36Speaker 7: a strength of luxury items you had. You were deep
- 26:38Speaker 7: at the at the forward position and deep at the
- 26:41Speaker 7: center position, and now you want to take that depth.
- 26:43Speaker 3: And apply to your blue line.
- 26:45Speaker 4: Vic has or either any of you who have a
- 26:48Speaker 4: answer to this. How many teams do you think have
- 26:50Speaker 4: called the Denver Nuggets about Jamal Murray, specifically after the
- 26:54Speaker 4: end of season press conference when they announced that everybody.
- 26:57Speaker 3: And Nate said something that's very important.
- 27:00Speaker 7: It said something that the difference between the Nuggets moving
- 27:03Speaker 7: like a guy like Jamal and Minezuela Minnesota move guys.
- 27:06Speaker 7: But Julius Randall was not super Max. Nas Reed was
- 27:10Speaker 7: not a Supermans, right, that's a big difference when you
- 27:13Speaker 7: go super Max with the two of you.
- 27:15Speaker 4: Trade Jamal within the in the West, like because there's
- 27:18Speaker 4: rumors that the Houston Rockets or somebody might might want
- 27:21Speaker 4: or the Memphis Grizzlies might want a Jamal Murray, would
- 27:24Speaker 4: you trade Jamal in the conference?
- 27:26Speaker 5: And you're like, get him to the East.
- 27:27Speaker 4: We don't want to.
- 27:28Speaker 7: See to see the pieces you get back, I have
- 27:30Speaker 7: to see it in front of me. I can't say blanket, yes,
- 27:33Speaker 7: I gotta see what you get back.
- 27:34Speaker 2: But I don't.
- 27:35Speaker 6: I don't give just an automatic hard note of moving
- 27:37Speaker 6: him somewhere in the West. I don't because because look,
- 27:40Speaker 6: if you've made the determination that you can make your
- 27:43Speaker 6: roster better with a different combination of pieces, it shouldn't
- 27:47Speaker 6: matter whether you play him four times in the regular
- 27:49Speaker 6: season or twice in the regular season, or if there's
- 27:52Speaker 6: a higher probability of seeing him in the postseason.
- 27:54Speaker 1: Then you just think about it conceptually. And I know
- 27:56Speaker 1: that there's exceptions to this rule at all times, and
- 27:59Speaker 1: maybe Jamal is an exception, quite frankly, but if you
- 28:01Speaker 1: think about it conceptually, like you're trading away a guy
- 28:05Speaker 1: because you feel like he's not good enough to win
- 28:07Speaker 1: you a championship, right, Why should you be that afraid
- 28:09Speaker 1: of having to face him if he's not good.
- 28:13Speaker 5: You're right, you're right.
- 28:14Speaker 4: But if it's specifically like Houston is, is might be
- 28:17Speaker 4: a problem because Houston is a good team with the Grizzlies.
- 28:20Speaker 7: Though, if if, if, if you.
- 28:22Speaker 4: Want to swing a deal with Memphis, does that mean
- 28:24Speaker 4: you're taking back jaw.
- 28:27Speaker 6: If you said the proximity to Zack and Willies is
- 28:34Speaker 6: way too Yeah, no, that's you can't.
- 28:36Speaker 2: You can't have him in this town.
- 28:37Speaker 7: I do I do wonder this though, because at that
- 28:39Speaker 7: press conference the other night after the second round, John
- 28:41Speaker 7: Wallace said they they need ball handlers. They said it
- 28:44Speaker 7: after the season too, they need ball handlers right well,
- 28:48Speaker 7: right now, if you resign Peyton Watson, where you gonna
- 28:52Speaker 7: get your Where are you going to get that?
- 28:53Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 28:54Speaker 7: How are you going to add that to your roster?
- 28:56Speaker 7: Right now?
- 28:56Speaker 6: Tias Jones on a minimum where you can get more
- 28:58Speaker 6: minutes to Jalen Pickett.
- 29:00Speaker 3: They're screwed.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, you're probably right, man, I mean we keep
- 29:07Speaker 1: doing Nate, I will say that is you actually brought
- 29:11Speaker 1: hope to me today because I was totally unaware of that.
- 29:13Speaker 1: And maybe you could do something creative with that, but
- 29:16Speaker 1: it's a long shot. But even that still feels more
- 29:18Speaker 1: like solving Peyton, Like like I'm not even sure.
- 29:21Speaker 3: I'm not sure what with with Nate's idea.
- 29:23Speaker 7: It's a wonderful idea, but the assumption is that the
- 29:25Speaker 7: other team, the Bucks, want the player.
- 29:27Speaker 6: You want to know exactly right and exactly assumption you
- 29:29Speaker 6: don't know? Yeah, no, what I'm trying. I'm sitting over
- 29:32Speaker 6: here trying to sell Milwaukee on this whole thing. I'm
- 29:34Speaker 6: just a god Christian Brown, great culture guy, athlete you're rebuilding.
- 29:39Speaker 7: I'm gonna say this about a Christian I think CB's
- 29:41Speaker 7: taking a lot of heat. That injury did more harm
- 29:45Speaker 7: to his his.
- 29:46Speaker 3: Psyche than people know.
- 29:47Speaker 2: There's no way that he's not better next He's gonna
- 29:49Speaker 2: be better.
- 29:50Speaker 7: I'm telling you what you saw last year in Christian
- 29:52Speaker 7: Brown is not Christian Brown. That injury not only did
- 29:55Speaker 7: it slow him down, but as you know, Tyler, sometimes
- 29:59Speaker 7: when you're compensating because of injury and your confidence takes
- 30:02Speaker 7: a hit. Let's say you miss a couple jump shots.
- 30:04Speaker 7: Because you can't get the rise you normally get. All
- 30:06Speaker 7: of a sudden You're like, wow, can I hit this anymore?
- 30:09Speaker 7: It it affects you, It hurts you. Injuries lead to
- 30:12Speaker 7: mental mental confidence issues, and you got to break out
- 30:16Speaker 7: of that.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Yeah, here's my fear with it. Though there was no closure.
- 30:20Speaker 1: There was no closure to the injury. There was no
- 30:23Speaker 1: closure to the mental confidence issue, and that is a
- 30:27Speaker 1: long mental grind to be in. Man, what do you
- 30:30Speaker 1: mean by closure? Like like there was no finality. I
- 30:32Speaker 1: got to the other side. I got to the other
- 30:35Speaker 1: side of the injury. I got to the other side
- 30:37Speaker 1: of the mental block. There was no closure. Now he
- 30:40Speaker 1: was getting worse as the year one off. And I'm
- 30:42Speaker 1: telling you my fear is when you've got an injury
- 30:44Speaker 1: that goes on that long, I don't know when it
- 30:47Speaker 1: gets right.
- 30:48Speaker 7: Well, you have an entire offseason to get it right.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But then you know what's got to do
- 30:53Speaker 1: on the other side of that. What's your name? I
- 30:55Speaker 1: was gonna call you, Scott. Now you got to get
- 30:58Speaker 1: to the point where you get on the other side
- 30:59Speaker 1: of the mental closer, So maybe get on the other
- 31:01Speaker 1: side of the physical part. But now you've got to
- 31:02Speaker 1: get to the mental part, and that's gonna take some
- 31:04Speaker 1: time as well.
- 31:05Speaker 4: How many Denver Nuggets on the team right now are
- 31:08Speaker 4: going to be better next season than they were this year?
- 31:11Speaker 4: How many you know what I'm talking about when you
- 31:12Speaker 4: look at the players says he's going to be better
- 31:14Speaker 4: next year than he was last year?
- 31:15Speaker 3: How many am I to.
- 31:16Speaker 7: Have ag available that would make him better?
- 31:18Speaker 2: That would make him better?
- 31:19Speaker 5: But you know what I mean, like have a better
- 31:21Speaker 5: season than he had last year?
- 31:23Speaker 6: I firmly believe. Well, I think Jamal. I think Jamal
- 31:26Speaker 6: hits ceiling this year. But guess what if that's if
- 31:29Speaker 6: he is that player for another two years?
- 31:34Speaker 7: Serious the video of him working out with team.
- 31:39Speaker 3: How come.
- 31:41Speaker 4: Exactly like it's crazy? But yes, I mean I just
- 31:48Speaker 4: need some guys with upside. I would like some upside
- 31:50Speaker 4: on my Denver Nuggets right now. I don't know where
- 31:52Speaker 4: we're getting it.
- 31:53Speaker 6: Okay, along those lines, a name that we don't bring
- 31:55Speaker 6: up enough in these conversations, Cam Johnson.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Cam Johnson would be a hell of
- 32:00Speaker 1: a lot better in year two, comfortable in this system
- 32:03Speaker 1: or comfortable in his own skin with the organization, wouldn't
- 32:06Speaker 1: feel the pressure necessarily be in the centerpiece of the
- 32:08Speaker 1: trade anymore.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Came on strong to finish the year.
- 32:12Speaker 7: Is their best player in the six in Game six,
- 32:14Speaker 7: the elimination best player as.
- 32:16Speaker 6: The season went on, like it again, like you look
- 32:19Speaker 6: at it as as well. It's it's a no brainer
- 32:21Speaker 6: to move them because of the expiring contract, and maybe
- 32:24Speaker 6: it will just have to be. But I would love
- 32:26Speaker 6: to see Cam Johnson on the floor next year for
- 32:27Speaker 6: the Nuggets.
- 32:28Speaker 4: Goes from twelve points per game to twenty or something
- 32:31Speaker 4: like that, And Dad, I get it, man, I just
- 32:33Speaker 4: it's just scary.
- 32:34Speaker 5: It's just scary. I don't know what they're gonna do,
- 32:37Speaker 5: but I got faith.
- 32:37Speaker 2: It's tough.
- 32:39Speaker 1: It is.
- 32:39Speaker 2: It is very tough.
- 32:40Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not willing to go to their screwed
- 32:42Speaker 6: territory like Tyler quite yet, but I'm close. I can
- 32:46Speaker 6: acknowledge that they're standing pretty close to the cliff. It's
- 32:51Speaker 6: pretty tough.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Scramble continues next. Welcome back to the Scrabble. Right now,
- 32:57Speaker 4: We've got Tyler Columbus SunShot guns out. We got Nate Krekman,
- 33:02Speaker 4: We've got Steve Nelson, we got the legendary Kevin Shocking.
- 33:06Speaker 4: We got the man Vic Lombardi all joining us here
- 33:10Speaker 4: and it's uh, it's been a fun conversation so far.
- 33:15Speaker 4: I do want to touch on.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Before we get to Drunk Takes, my all time favorite.
- 33:20Speaker 5: I do want to.
- 33:20Speaker 4: Quickly touch on. CBS Sports release their top one hundred

- 34:31Speaker 7: our shiny objects to the receiver, the running.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Back, the quarterback.
- 34:36Speaker 7: I think it's great that the Broncos, the Bulka, they're
- 34:38Speaker 7: great players, are on the inside.
- 34:40Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 34:40Speaker 2: So way Courtland Sutton's not on there.
- 34:42Speaker 5: No, Courtland's not on there. Got effect, Jayleen?
- 34:47Speaker 2: No, he was pretty down last year.
- 34:48Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so he's not.
- 34:49Speaker 4: Another matter of.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Fact, a little surprise Bow Decks made it.
- 34:52Speaker 4: Bow Knicks is at eighty seven. The quarter rap the
- 34:54Speaker 4: quarterbacks around Bow. The ones right ahead of Bow are
- 34:58Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield. Are there two
- 35:05Speaker 4: quarterbacks right there around Bow?
- 35:06Speaker 7: Speaking of Bow, I want to ask you guys a question.
- 35:08Speaker 3: I brought this up on the show the other day.
- 35:09Speaker 7: So last week I'm playing golf with the Todd help
- 35:12Speaker 7: and Todd hadn't been in town for a long time.
- 35:15Speaker 2: Drop well that horse they gave.
- 35:18Speaker 7: Him, and I have to bring it up. I have
- 35:20Speaker 7: to bring it up because of the question he asked,
- 35:21Speaker 7: the horses. The horse is dead, he asked me.
- 35:24Speaker 3: He goes. You know, he hadn't been in and out
- 35:26Speaker 3: of Denver.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I played golf. Jesus, Wait, he said, who's the.
- 35:30Speaker 3: Guy in Denver?
- 35:31Speaker 7: Now he says, who's the guy?
- 35:33Speaker 2: The guy?
- 35:34Speaker 3: Yeah? And I said to myself, what do you mean
- 35:35Speaker 3: the guy? He goes, you know, the guy.
- 35:37Speaker 7: And I thought about.
- 35:38Speaker 3: It for a while. I said, God's.
- 35:40Speaker 2: Probably Bonix to that to that point.
- 35:43Speaker 7: Now, well that's what I said. I mean, we're saying Denver, Yes,
- 35:49Speaker 7: Broncos Denver. I thought about Joker. I thought about that.
- 35:53Speaker 7: That was the first one that came on. But I said,
- 35:55Speaker 7: is he really though? I mean, we know what value
- 35:58Speaker 7: he brings to the Nuggets, and we know kind of athlete.
- 36:00Speaker 7: He's the most decorated pro athlete in town.
- 36:03Speaker 6: He is the best at his sport in town, in
- 36:07Speaker 6: town to that point. Okay, So I was telling Andy
- 36:10Speaker 6: about this the other day. I did an extremely official
- 36:13Speaker 6: survey last year on Halloween at my kids Halloween party
- 36:20Speaker 6: at her school. Okay, and I just I tracked all
- 36:23Speaker 6: the sports costumes. You know, kids like to dress up
- 36:26Speaker 6: as as whomever.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Okay, and that's actually a great poll.
- 36:31Speaker 6: It was what I used and number one by far
- 36:34Speaker 6: because I counted. I think six of them was bon Nicks.
- 36:37Speaker 6: There were bone Nicks costumes. There was only one yokicch.
- 36:41Speaker 7: I'll give you another indication, and this is an informal poll.
- 36:44Speaker 7: I do a lot of these charity fundraisers, right, and
- 36:46Speaker 7: they're always auctioning off sports items. By far, the one
- 36:51Speaker 7: that goes for the most money. And take this on, Tyler.
- 36:54Speaker 7: There was an auction where we auctioned off a bon
- 36:57Speaker 7: Nicks jersey and a Peyton Manning Hall of Fame jersey.
- 37:01Speaker 3: Which one made more money? Oh? It got to be?
- 37:05Speaker 7: Yes?
- 37:05Speaker 3: Yes?
- 37:06Speaker 2: How much?
- 37:07Speaker 7: Yes?
- 37:07Speaker 2: How much?
- 37:08Speaker 7: Bone Nick's got more money? You got like two grand
- 37:11Speaker 7: for that jersey, fifteen to two. I can't remember what
- 37:13Speaker 7: it was. But I sat there stunned as well, just
- 37:15Speaker 7: like you your reaction. I was like, wow, wait a minute,
- 37:18Speaker 7: this is a Hall of Fame's wild.
- 37:20Speaker 4: This is a Hall of Famer here.
- 37:21Speaker 7: But sometimes you live in the moment. He's the hot
- 37:26Speaker 7: names and when I'm asked who's the guy, I think
- 37:30Speaker 7: he's the guy.
- 37:31Speaker 6: We we were kicking this around the other day and
- 37:34Speaker 6: again I this is one where you know, you kind
- 37:37Speaker 6: of got to tap into the youth, so to speak.
- 37:40Speaker 6: But in the cool the coolness rankings right now in town,
- 37:44Speaker 6: like who's who's the coolest athlete, Who's the coolest team? Well,
- 37:47Speaker 6: I would say the Broncos are the coolest team right now.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Broncos are always number one.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Well I wouldn't. I wouldn't necessarily agree with that, and.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Name of time in the last ten years they've been
- 37:57Speaker 1: bad that they weren't number one.
- 37:59Speaker 3: When the nut.
- 38:01Speaker 7: Joseph that quarterback free I could tell you right now,
- 38:09Speaker 7: I'm want to raise here.
- 38:11Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like it.
- 38:12Speaker 7: I thought the Denver Nuggets were toe to toe with
- 38:14Speaker 7: the Broncos that season.
- 38:15Speaker 6: Yeah, no, because the Broncos were down and they were
- 38:19Speaker 6: definitively not cool. They didn't have any good players, like
- 38:22Speaker 6: it was, it was just Breaft. It was bad for
- 38:24Speaker 6: a while. Now I would say they were the most popular,
- 38:27Speaker 6: like they still, like they're gonna get more people out,
- 38:29Speaker 6: more people are gonna pay attention to the games just
- 38:31Speaker 6: because of the heritage of it all. But again, like,
- 38:34Speaker 6: well you defined in a hipster you are talking about cool,
- 38:36Speaker 6: because isn't popular cool hipsters always know what's cool, my friends,
- 38:41Speaker 6: we always do well.
- 38:43Speaker 4: I think we all agree that the Rockies have never
- 38:46Speaker 4: been on the top of that list, but at least
- 38:48Speaker 4: the Broncos dominated for most of the seasons. But when
- 38:51Speaker 4: the Avs are winning titles and when the Nuggets winning,
- 38:54Speaker 4: then then they hop.
- 38:55Speaker 6: Let's put it this way, if you're gonna ask a kid,
- 38:57Speaker 6: would you rather have a Teddy Bridgewater jersey and Nicola
- 38:59Speaker 6: yok jersey or Nathan McKinnon jersey. Get we know who's
- 39:03Speaker 6: gonna finish third on that list. That's the reason why
- 39:06Speaker 6: bo Knicks is so popular and again Air quotes cool
- 39:09Speaker 6: right now because he's the quarterback and he fin he
- 39:13Speaker 6: leads exciting play comebacks and they're winning games.
- 39:16Speaker 4: Bow Knicks has the twenty first best selling jersey in
- 39:20Speaker 4: the NFL last season, him and Jared Goffer Neck and Neck.
- 39:25Speaker 4: I was surprised that Saquan had the highest selling jersey
- 39:28Speaker 4: last year.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Here's another thing the thoughts, Yeah, here's another way.
- 39:33Speaker 5: I know, But is like three or something ridiculous on
- 39:36Speaker 5: the list?
- 39:37Speaker 6: Is another poll that I used to do was I
- 39:39Speaker 6: would always do this once a year during training camp.
- 39:41Speaker 6: I would go to the hill and I would track
- 39:44Speaker 6: every Broncos jersey that I saw on the hill.
- 39:47Speaker 4: Are you gonna be able to do that in the
- 39:48Speaker 4: new the new Dove Valley that.
- 39:51Speaker 6: Like, are they going to have late not this year
- 39:53Speaker 6: but maybe in a couple of years. But back when
- 39:55Speaker 6: you know, fans are on the hill and what would
- 39:57Speaker 6: always what I would marvel at, and whether it was
- 40:00Speaker 6: the the Drew Locke era or the Joe Flacco era,
- 40:02Speaker 6: or Teddy Bridgewater or Trevor Simeon or whatever other junk
- 40:06Speaker 6: the Broncos were throwing out there at quarterback was nobody
- 40:10Speaker 6: wears the quarterbacks jersey in our town?
- 40:13Speaker 3: Do you know the most popular jersey on the hill
- 40:15Speaker 3: those years?
- 40:15Speaker 1: It was.
- 40:18Speaker 6: Manning and von Miller, those were those are the top two,
- 40:21Speaker 6: and then like Champ Bailey and John Elway, like those
- 40:24Speaker 6: were the ones like current Broncos at the time, it
- 40:28Speaker 6: was it was raw Tyler.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a plumbus jersey just randomly?
- 40:32Speaker 1: You know, it's very very rare. It's happened a couple
- 40:35Speaker 1: of times. It happened cool. You know, the time that
- 40:37Speaker 1: I planted the flag and I ripped my shirt off
- 40:39Speaker 1: and all that, I actually saw a guy came. It
- 40:42Speaker 1: came up from the from the crowd. He comes up
- 40:44Speaker 1: the stairs and he starts showing his jersey to me.
- 40:46Speaker 7: Cool.
- 40:47Speaker 2: I did not know him.
- 40:48Speaker 1: I mean, I mean every other time that I see
- 40:50Speaker 1: a Plumpus jersey, I'm aware of that human beings name.
- 40:55Speaker 4: That's pretty good, though, man, I like it.
- 40:57Speaker 5: I want a Plumbus jersey.
- 40:58Speaker 4: There was a did they still make him?
- 41:00Speaker 2: Can I get it to I mean, you got to
- 41:02Speaker 2: get a customer.
- 41:03Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
- 41:05Speaker 6: There's there's a great good couple of years ago where
- 41:09Speaker 6: Ryan Sandberg was. It was at Wrigley Field and somebody
- 41:11Speaker 6: had filmed this. Oh no, there's a drunk guy in
- 41:14Speaker 6: front of him who wouldn't sit down and was yelling
- 41:18Speaker 6: and everything. And the guy's wearing a Sandbird jersey, and
- 41:20Speaker 6: Rhino's a couple of a couple of rows behind the guy,
- 41:23Speaker 6: and you just see Rhino go hey Sandberg, and the
- 41:27Speaker 6: guy turns around starts yelling back.
- 41:29Speaker 4: At and he just realizes it's and then.
- 41:31Speaker 6: Several people around him had to be like that, that's
- 41:34Speaker 6: Rhino right there.
- 41:36Speaker 4: That's great, man, that's great.
- 41:37Speaker 2: I love those.
- 41:38Speaker 3: I love those, man, I love those. Yeah.
- 41:40Speaker 4: Where yeah, somebody's yeah, wearing their jersey, doesn't even recognize
- 41:43Speaker 4: that that's the guy whose jersey you're wearing, standing right
- 41:45Speaker 4: next to.
- 41:46Speaker 6: You, exactly by the way, uh vic is is Todd Helton.
- 41:49Speaker 6: I have to imagine he's an incredible golfer. You know,
- 41:53Speaker 6: here's the deal with pro athletes who play golf. Some
- 41:56Speaker 6: of them become incredible golfers. Others just partake randomly. He's
- 42:01Speaker 6: at that point.
- 42:02Speaker 7: He's good. He's good, but you could tell he doesn't
- 42:04Speaker 7: play enough to be great.
- 42:07Speaker 4: I think he's trying to say, I'm better at coffin.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Did he be a good player?
- 42:12Speaker 3: He's a good player. Did you beat him? What's that?
- 42:14Speaker 2: Did you beat him?
- 42:15Speaker 7: I'm not going to partaken any.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Was Todd hell you did?
- 42:21Speaker 3: Was Todd Helton? Never the guy in this town.
- 42:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:25Speaker 7: You know it's interesting you say because in two thousand
- 42:27Speaker 7: and seven you said, when's the last time a sports
- 42:29Speaker 7: team took on the Broncos. I would argue seven two
- 42:33Speaker 7: thousand made that that World Series appearance.
- 42:36Speaker 6: It was the most pumping the enthusiasm that that club had.
- 42:41Speaker 5: Was the quarterback of the Broncos, and seven I.
- 42:45Speaker 3: Went to the I went to the game in Indy.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Uh it was, is it?
- 42:49Speaker 2: J Cutler.
- 42:50Speaker 7: I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you right
- 42:52Speaker 7: now that that scene, that picture right there. You know
- 42:55Speaker 7: the amount of number seventeen jerseys in Denver, Colorado after
- 42:59Speaker 7: two thousand and seven.
- 42:59Speaker 3: You know the amount.
- 43:00Speaker 7: Of the popularity of the Rockies that season. I still
- 43:04Speaker 7: tell people I've been in this business a long time.
- 43:06Speaker 7: I've covered a lot of different sports, a lot of
- 43:08Speaker 7: that run October to me is Top three, Ye greatest.
- 43:14Speaker 7: It's not a moment, but the best feeling I've ever
- 43:18Speaker 7: had as a sports fan.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Top three games one sixty three is the single best
- 43:23Speaker 2: sporting event I've ever been to.
- 43:25Speaker 5: This is that the holiday at the home place.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Yes, one sixty three against the it was. It was this.
- 43:31Speaker 6: It's the single best sporting event I've ever attended. Like
- 43:34Speaker 6: combination of like game fan enthusiasm, insanity.
- 43:39Speaker 2: It was. It was absolutely fantastic.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Well I got something fantastic right here. As we close
- 43:44Speaker 4: the show out.
- 43:50Speaker 7: Drunk Takes for the record, I think this sort of
- 43:53Speaker 7: dehumanizes us and it really cracks out our credibility to
- 44:00Speaker 7: the show. Drunk Takes.
- 44:05Speaker 4: Yeah, we take clips from throughout the break, throughout the
- 44:08Speaker 4: week and slow them down at half speed and makes
- 44:10Speaker 4: it sound like we're hammered.
- 44:12Speaker 5: Did the thing Nelson could like.
- 44:14Speaker 4: If if if you most decided hosts the show.
- 44:17Speaker 5: Together, they do it.
- 44:20Speaker 7: We've done this show from my house before.
- 44:23Speaker 4: I remember, didn't you and Gary Shapiro hostes show Gary.
- 44:30Speaker 3: Gary Story Channel nine?
- 44:37Speaker 7: Oh channel supposed to be an at all.
- 44:43Speaker 4: Colorado Lotti.
- 44:46Speaker 7: That entire conversation took place during a commercial week.
- 44:50Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my bad. That's all me.
- 44:51Speaker 1: That one's on me mixed Gary Miller and Less Shapiro,
- 44:54Speaker 1: less Shapiro, But that was Gary Shapiro.
- 44:56Speaker 2: It was it was Scotty did Joe Brown the other day? Joe?
