  Speaker 4: Christian, three for the game winner.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Yes!

  Speaker 4: Nuggets lead it by 15 points with 108 left to
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: go in the game.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: And this thing is over.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: A triple-double for Nikola Jokic, his second one of the year.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Final tonight for the Big Easy, Denver 104, Pelicans 91.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Hi, this is Gabe Landeskog of the Avalanche. Tonight, we've
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: got a double dip.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Down low for Landeskog. Back out there.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Landeskog.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Taves.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Lines up.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Swart back door. Landeskog scores!
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, captain!
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: My captain! Three seconds. Two seconds. One second.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Sound the horn.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: The New Jersey winning streak started with the avalanche.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It ends with the avalanche with a 5-2 win on
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: home ice.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: All right, everybody do it with me. In through the nose, Nelly.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: In through the nose. Out through the mouth. Much better.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Much better, right?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Isn't that what last night kind of felt like? Just
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a nice deep breath. There's a little bit of, I mean,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I was one of them. It was a little bit
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of a panicky Pete here to start this season. We
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: just needed a night to calm things down a bit
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and take down the temperature.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: It was a combination, I would say, of.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: A little bit of a hangover from the previous year
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and how the seasons ended to also reacting.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: To things from early... in the schedule this year.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: But both teams facing opponents that they played recently that
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in the Avs case got beat by and in the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Nuggets case needed a miracle fourth quarter overtime to get
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a win against. That looked a lot more like what
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you wanted. And I'll start with the Avs. You know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: even at the beginning of the game where you give
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: up another shorthanded goal and it's.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell you guys.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It just felt like McKinnon was frustrated, maybe a little
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: bit fatigued, and he just decided he's going to whip
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it across the middle of the ice. He does this
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a lot, and I don't really get why. It just
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: seems totally impatient. But whip one across the middle of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the ice where there's traffic, hoping it gets through to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the opposite end, and it gets picked off, and then
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you've got guys that are on
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: their toes that then go on their heels and you
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: have a breakout going the other way. Now the actual
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: goal was just, I mean, entirely lucky. It goes off
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: kale skate, five holes, Blackwood, nothing he could do about it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: But outside of that moment, I mean, it was pretty
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: good domination. It took you a while to get that
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: first goal about halfway through the second period, a little,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: little over halfway through. But once you got it, all
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: momentum was in your favor. Out shooting New Jersey like crazy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, 44 to 22, you doubled them up on shots.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: It was only a matter of time before the dam broke.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And when the dam did break, oh boy, did it break.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Brett.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you're in the same boat as me,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: but I watched those first two periods, right? And the abs,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: like you said, were just peppering hella buck or helly buck,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: depending on who you ask.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Well, Hellebuck wasn't in last night. It was Jake Allen.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Jake Allen, yes. I just wanted to say Hellebuck. Yes,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Jake Allen. Excuse me. Whoever was in that, he was
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: doing a great job through the first two periods.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: And I was watching the Avs throw pucks at him.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And I was watching him look like the love child
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: of Patrick Waugh and Martin Brodeur and Dominic Hoschuk. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: they were hitting posts. And they were getting weird bounces.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I'll give you one guess what word popped into my head.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Did it start with a G? I was getting ready
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: to come in here and go.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: But that was one of those games. I'm with you.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: He was on it. But it's only a matter of time.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: If you continue to do this, and this has kind
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of been the theme for the Avs at the beginning
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of this season and at times last year.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, Bednar said it. You need to just start.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: As long as you continue to throw pucks, at the goalie,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: something good is going to happen. You will get a bounce.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You will get a rebound. As long as you're putting
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the effort into working in front of the net, it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: going to eventually break through. And so you get the
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: tap-in far side from Landy. He is able to get
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you on the board with a power play goal. That
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: second unit, by the way, looks pretty good. on the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: power play. And I, I think, I don't know if
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Bednar can force somebody to get off the ice, but
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: if the first unit doesn't look like they're in good position,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I think you gotta, you gotta call out that hook
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: pretty early. Like, give that second power play unit at
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: least 50 seconds of that if the puck gets, you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: dumped down ice. Um, because at times they look sometimes
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: better than the first unit somehow. But good tap-in from
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Landy to start that. Big moment of the game. Like,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: this is what changed everything. Once you got past this,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I felt really good about it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: You take a.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Penalty with Logan O'Connor with a minute 59 left in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the second period after the game's tied 1-1. You're like,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: all right, let's kill off this penalty kill. And if
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you can do that, Head into the third with this
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: thing tied one-to-one with the way that you've played. It
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: looks like you can, there's going to be a good
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: opportunity you can take over. Then Burns gets hit with
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a penalty. 30 seconds left in the second period. He
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: trots off to the ice. They're showing the replay.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what they're called. They called it trip.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Burns did nothing other than play defense. That's all he did.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So now I'm like, goodness gracious, it's a five on three.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: You get unlucky.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You get lucky in the sense that the play that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: resulted in Burns going to the box was a puck
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: that rang off the post. So you get lucky in
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that sense. But now you give them another two minutes
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of a power play and, well, 30 seconds of a
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: five on three and a minute and a half of
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a power play to start the third. They're able to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: kill it off. But the next thing that happens, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: this is why I love Brent Burns. I know he's
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a little long in the tooth now, and he might
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: not be the player he was a decade ago. But
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: one thing that Brent Burns does more than anybody else
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: in this entire roster, if the puck's on his stick
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: in the offensive zone, it's going at the net. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that's how you get the cadre goal. Burns just throws
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: one on net. Gets a rebound. Kadri's all by himself
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: on the opposite post.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Bang.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Now you're up 2-1. Immediately afterwards, what happens again? Stretch
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: pass from who? Brent Burns to Parker Kelly. Parker Kelly finishes.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Now it's 3-1. Now it's a party. McKinnon scores 30
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: seconds after that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Schwartz scores.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It's 5-1 and the game's over. So, That's the kind
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: of performance you want to see from the Avs. You
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: get a, I think, a really solid performance that was
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: mixed in by a couple of bad things that you
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: were able to overcome.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: But overall, that's the game that you want to see
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: from the Avs.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: 44 shots to 22. That's being disciplined on defense, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that's giving yourself opportunities on offense. You were one of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: two on the power play, although one of those resulted
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: in a shorthanded goal. I think that you were disciplined
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: in the penalty area. You stayed out of the box
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: for the most part. The penalty on Burns was a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: BS penalty. Everything that you got last night was avalanche
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: hockey that you won, to the Nuggets side of things.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's the same thing. They were disciplined defensively.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: They played good help defense. They were good on the perimeter.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: They forced contested threes. And if this team wants to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: get back to where they were at a championship level
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to a certain extent, they can't quite get there because
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think they have the horses to do it,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: at least on the defensive side. But in that year
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and with this team, it does feel like good defense
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: leads to really good offense because if they can get
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: in transition and make teams uncomfortable, It's huge. Jamal Murray
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: being a willing, a willing shooter from three and a
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: confident shooter from three is huge. He was five of
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: 11 last night. It took Christian Brown a minute, but
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: when the game started, you know, it always felt like
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets had control, but a couple of times, especially
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: late in the game, Maybe you're letting go of the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: rope a little bit. Here come the Pelicans making a
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: little mini run. They get it down to 10 points.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe they get it down to six. You needed people
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: to knock down some shots. Christian Brown, in those moments,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: late in the game, hit some huge threes.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Take you there.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And Jokic was just, I think, top to bottom solid.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: A few too many turnovers, but it was one of
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: those nights every time the ball left his hand, you
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: felt like it was going in. So he finishes with 21-13-10.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Aaron Gordon looked like himself last night, which was good
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to see, at least on the defensive side.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: He was aggressive.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And Trevin Brazil continues to be just a fun watch.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: He is somebody that he tries to be involved in everything.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I love how he is not hesitant, even as a rookie,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: to just, if I'm open for a three or if
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I got a window for a three.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to pull the trigger. And knocks down his
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: first one of the game last night.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: As you are injured right now in some.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Key areas. I mean, you got a starter out.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: You have your second best guy off the bench in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Spencer Jones that has yet to play so far this year.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: You're out Julian Strother who had figured or looked like
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: he was going to be a bigger part of the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: rotation this year. Along with Alpha Diallo who you brought
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: in for defensive purposes. All those guys are out. And
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I thought the defense, or I'm sorry, the bench held
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: their own. DeMar DeRozan wasn't like a great shooting or
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: scoring night from him, but he did add five assists.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: He got a couple of steals last night. I thought
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Marvin Bagley looked great. He seems to be the kind
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: of backup center that you need here. Not big, tall,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: doofy guy who gets rebounds and block shots. Somebody who's
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: got a little bit more versatility to their game, a
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: little bit more athleticism, because if you're going to play
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: different with Joker off the floor, then play different. And
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I think he brings that ability to do it. So
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: much in the same way of the Avs, I felt
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: like the Nuggets.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Did the same thing.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: They played a style of basketball that I think, number one,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: suits their skill set, and number two, That should be
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the kind of game that you strive for every night.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: And, you know, one kind of funny footnote about the Nuggets.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I remember this from when I was producing and running
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: the board for all these Nuggets games. Nikola Jokic would
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: have a triple-double, and I wouldn't even notice it until
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Kaz said something because he just goes about his business
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: so quietly. So I came in this morning, and I
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: was looking through all the Nuggets highlights, and I figured
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: there's got to be a bunch of Jokic highlights in here.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: I'll put together a little something-something for the show up
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: in them. There's one highlight in here from the first quarter.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: He hit a floater, made 18 to 9 nuggets. This
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: is the only Jokic highlight we have from last night.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: It's amazing that he just shows up and he does
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: his job in the least flashy way. And, oh, he's
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: got 200 triple doubles.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: But he did what Jokic should be doing. Like, Jokic's game,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: if he knocks down threes, that's great. But that's a bonus.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Jokic shouldn't be taking six threes a game. And if
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you look at the first three games of the season,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he attempted seven the opening night against OKC, 10 against
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: New Orleans in the first go-round. He attempted six against
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Golden State, zero last night because he got inside and
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: he played his little inside floater game, put one up
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: against the backboard, little 10-foot hook shot. Like, that's what
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: his game is and that's where he's comfortable. If he's
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: shooting threes, it typically means, like, it's a pretty good
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: indicator that he is not confident in how the team
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: is playing. Last night, the team was playing well. He
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: got to play his game. So, a lot more to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: get to here.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: We have a Avs ticket Thursday.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Keywords every hour on the 20s with that first keyword
• 14:16

  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: We're going to get to the Broncos in a second,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: but I got one of my best friends here in town.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: A guy I believe you've met before, the owner of
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Launchpad Dave. He's had a beard for as long as
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I've known him. He sent a picture because they had
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: some Halloween party. And his kid likes this. It's some
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: anime thing. I don't know anything about anime, but it's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: some anime, Japanese something something, where he went as a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: character from that, and Nelly, he shaved his beard, and
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I'm terrified. I can't look at my friend anymore.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I can't. And I don't know. You've done this before, Nelly.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I remember a couple years ago, I think you shaved
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: your beard for some Halloween thing that you did.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: And I don't have....
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: The church bells between my legs to take my facial
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: hair completely off for a.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Skit, we'll call it. And I don't know how you
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: guys do it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: And I saw him and I go, dude, I don't
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: know who that human being is.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I don't want you around my children. I don't want
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: you doing anything. Okay?
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Well, for what it's worth, sometimes it's nice because you
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: so rarely shave the beard. You never go back down
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: to square one, so... I only ever do it for
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Halloween-related reasons, and if I do shave it completely off,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: then we're back to the beginning.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I get to start fresh.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: It's like how sometimes scientists say that Forest fires can
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: actually be beneficial for the forest.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, of course.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Because it burns out all the dead wood.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: The dead stuff, sure.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: You get back just to the nutrient soil and then
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: you start over.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: The birch beetles or whatever that have killed the trees
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: or whatever.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so sometimes I shave off the birch beetles for
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Halloween and we start fresh. It actually feels good.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Look, I don't have some Viking beard. It's not like
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I would look wildly different with no facial hair. My
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: facial hair isn't like some big biker thing. But... Have
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you seen the videos of the guys that have the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: big beards, and then they shave them off, and then
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: they look like they're small children, like they're one- or
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: two-year-old children.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: They're, like, scared of their own father. Can't have that happen.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: So anyway, keyword is Adams in your first and last
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: name to try and get in the building for the
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Avs and Flames on Halloween night.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: So.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: To the Broncos this weekend. I've told you guys it's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: a massive game for a number of different reasons.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Here's my overall take.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs are yet again a good football team.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: They are also a very untested football team. They have
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: played six games this year. They have been challenged once.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: And that was against the Seahawks this last week.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: The Broncos should have been.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: A challenge in the opening game, but they played their
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: worst defensive game since probably the Dolphins game in Vance
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Joseph's first year as DC, where they gave up 70 points. Like,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I'm almost, I'm not even kidding. You go back and
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you look at the way that that opening game against
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs went, the amount of missed tackles, The amount
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of things that you could not do on the defensive
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: side that were just basic, fundamental football. I'm shocked that
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs only put up 31 points.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: It's pretty amazing, actually. Go back and look at that game.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It was a.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Seven point game at half with the offense being able
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: to do nothing and the defense not being able to tackle.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: The fact that you were in the game at all,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I think tells a bigger story about the Chiefs than
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: it does the Broncos. And the Chiefs this year, they
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: have won 31 to 10 against the Broncos the opening week.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: They have beat The Colts, who are terrible, 33-30 in
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Week 2. They beat the Dolphins 24-10 in Week 3.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: The Raiders 30-27 in Week 4. And the worst team
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: in the league, the Chargers, 22-6 in Week 5. Then
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: they played the Seahawks, and they couldn't do anything. The
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Seahawks went out, and the Seahawks have their own problems
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: on offense. Still had a 100-yard rusher in Emmanuel Wilson
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: in that game. Sam Darnold still turned the ball over,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: but he found JSN for 150 yards as he does
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: every week. I think the Chiefs have been the beneficiary
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: of a really, really, really soft schedule and could be
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: in for a reality check. I truly believe I said
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: it in week one and you got drubbed because you
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: couldn't do anything right. And I will say it again.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Chiefs are that good. And I
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: think you win this football game. And I haven't been
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: overly confident with a bunch of Broncos games this year
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: because of their offense.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: And I still am a bit tepid. It was better
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: last week.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to just, you know, Throw what I've
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: seen the first six weeks of the season away because
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: he had a decent offensive performance last weekend.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: But I will say this.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: When it comes to Kansas City, if you shut down
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker, and I know this sounds crazy, but you
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: force them to become a purely passing team, as great
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: as Mahomes is, I don't think Mahomes by himself.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Is going to be able to put up a ton
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: of points because they don't have weapons. They just don't.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Their wide receiving core is not good. They have guys
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: with skills. I've always said, like, Rasheed Rice is good
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: when he's not in handcuffs, when he's not suspended. Travis
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Kelsey is old, and he looks it. He's still good for, yes,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: four or five catches in 60 yards or 50 yards
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Because he's a Hall of Famer and one of the
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: best ever. But they don't have playmakers outside of Kenneth
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Walker on that offense.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: They just don't.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: And when they face a good defense like they did
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: last week in Seattle, on the road, as they will
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: this week with a Broncos defense that has games under
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: their belt and knows how to tackle now, I just
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: think it's going to pose a gigantic problem for them.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: So the big thing here is, one, can you find
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: basically what you did last week? I think last week
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: should be the baseline for what the Broncos offense should be.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: It did not overwhelm you. They still had three and outs.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: They still had, you know, plays and penalties and stupid moments.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: But I got to set the bar pretty low for
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: what I want to see from the Broncos offense. And
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: they cleared that low bar that I had last week.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to put it at the same place. If
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: they clear that low bar, this thing's a win. You
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: add in, you're probably getting Pat Sertan back this week.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: That's huge.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I just believe that the Chiefs are a good but
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: not great football team that is being buoyed, buoyed, by
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: a really soft schedule to start this season. And the Broncos,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: they need to win this game because if they don't,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs are 6-1. They own the tiebreaker against you.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: They're two games up on you in the division race.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: In the next three weeks, they have games against the Jets,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: the Falcons, and the Cardinals. After that, it gets really difficult,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: but they can ride that wave Into the difficult part
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: of their schedule. Gain some confidence and momentum. And then
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: who knows what happens from here on out. I remember
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the Tuesday after the show. Of the opening game. Where
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I said again. Don't care about the result. I still
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: don't think the Chiefs are that good.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Good but not great. And that's how it's felt. Like
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think. If you erase.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: What Kenneth Walker has done for them this year, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: just taking everything else into account. You tell me where
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the uber positives are, at least for that Chiefs offense.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Mahomes this year, through six games, has nine touchdowns and
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: four picks and less than 1,500 yards passing. That is
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: not the insane Mahomes numbers that we're used to seeing.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: But it's been like this for a while.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I tried and tried to tell you guys this before
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the season started. Mahomes numbers over the last three years
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: have been middle of the road. Like when he burst
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: on the scene and he had the 50 touchdown pass
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: season back in 2018, and he had 38 and 37
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: and 41 in the years after that, that Chiefs offense
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: was a behemoth in something that was going to bury you.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Not the case here.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: And Texter Lance writes in, if you erase a 50-yard
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: touchdown run and a 59-yard Kelsey reception, that first Chiefs
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: game was a hell of a lot closer than it looked.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: And this is the thing. It's like, well, you're just
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: going to erase all the big plays? The point was this.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: The point is, the big plays were a result of
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: the Broncos defense not doing basic fundamental football, which will
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: not happen this weekend. They will wrap up and tackle.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: And I truly think that if you put 20 points
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: on the board, you win the football game this week.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And that's not asking a lot out of your offense.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking them to score 30. If we get
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: in a position where they got to score 30 points
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: to win, then guess what? I think the Broncos probably lose.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: But I don't have that Chiefs or that Mahomes PTSD
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: that existed maybe four or five years ago, that you
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: see them on the schedule, you're like, woof.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Not only are we going.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: To be in for a rough week where it's going
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: to be a really difficult win, we might get embarrassed. Like,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't see that coming. And if any Chiefs
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: fans are listening to this show, which they probably aren't,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: but if they were, I know what they're saying to themselves. Oh, well,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: what happened about week one? We all witnessed week one.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: That looks like an entirely different team. defensively than it
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: did right now.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: And yesterday, that's pretty much what all the Broncos players
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: were saying in the locker room. Chris Mitchell went down
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: there and got a lot of good sound clips. You
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: can check it out on all of our altitude sports radio,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: social media, but that's what they all said. Nick Benito
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: said it. Justin Stranad said it. Alex Singleton, your reigning defense,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: AFC defensive player of the week said it. They all
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: said VJ pulled the tape. any clockwork orange forced us
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: to watch it. And we all said, that's not who
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: we are.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: It's not us.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: But it's clear. Out of all the games this year,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: think about what the Broncos have done. The Broncos defense,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: which was already great last year, has somehow, I think,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: gotten better. And they've done it because they're now turning
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the ball over. But they have had, I think, Like
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: no bad games outside of KC this year. They've held
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: some of the elite quarterbacks of this league in check.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: In Trevor Lawrence, in Stafford, in Brock Purdy. I just
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: feel really good.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: And I don't know how you.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Guys feel about this. It just, it really does strike
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: me as a game that I think the Broncos win.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if I want to say comfortably,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: but I just think they're better. Top to bottom, they're better.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: And the spread is Kansas City minus one and a half.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: They're favored to win this game. I don't care. I
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: don't see it. I think the Chiefs, when they play
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: against opponents that are good and playing at a high level,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: It's not going to look exactly like what we saw last.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Week against Seattle, but you will see the cracks in
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: the armor. You will.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: So again, reminder to you guys, keyword for this hour

• 29:54
  Speaker 2: first and last name to 303-504-0925. So, As I was
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: doing the multi-multi-screens last night, abs and nuggets on.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: The TV, I threw the World Series on my phone.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: One thing about the World Series that stuck out to me,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: and it's something that Kreckman pointed out, after the Milwaukee
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Brewers won their first ever World Series last night, a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: number just to keep in mind, we'll get to next.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Stomp your feet, clap your hands.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: You're part of the team sitting.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: In the stands.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Come see what's brewing.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Come see what the good times are.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Come see what the brewers are doing. Come on and
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: cheer a superstar.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Be a believer if you were a believer.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: What happened to this style of music? Because it's whimsical.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: I love it. So this is a.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Brewer's fight song from 1980, Nelly?
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: That's what you're telling me?
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Brewer fever, baby.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: At the beginning of that, it hit that boo, boo, boo, boo.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was I'm getting paper. And it
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: really faked me out. So now at some point, I
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: need to hear that. And when I do hear that song,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: you know what.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I need to hear. I need to hear Bust at
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: some point today. But it was. It fooled me. Fooled me.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: It was the old bait and switch.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Thursdays on Altitude Sports Radio are powered by the Wilhite
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Law Firm, helping injured Coloradans for more than 35 years
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: learn how they can help you at WilhiteWins.com. So the
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Brewers win the World Series, which was a fantastic World Series.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: You guys probably didn't watch it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Most of you didn't. Whatever. I did.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: And It was two really good baseball teams where Milwaukee
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: was just better. They threw the Miz out there last night.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: He went five and two-thirds, no runs, only two strikeouts.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: He was actually getting touched up a little bit in
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the postseason, at least for his standards, getting touched up.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: But the Brewers take the World Series in five games.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Kreckman had a number.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: That in the last.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Four years, the Milwaukee Brewers have spent $ 527 million combined
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in payroll. They went to the playoffs every year and
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: now won the World Series. In the last four years,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the Rockies have spent $ 571 million combined and lost 100 games.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: In each of those seasons. Which is why, like, I've
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: tried to explain this to people.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Whatever you think of the Monforts as owners of this team,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I always kind of push back at the idea that
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: there isn't a burning desire to win or there is
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: not a desire to spend money on a roster. They've
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: done it. They've just done it poorly. Like, there's no
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: other way to say it. We need a full season
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: of KB. The guys that they've decided to spend their
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: money on are, one, guys that have been rewarded despite
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: not having results, or, two, you're Chris Bryant.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: We're hoping that the veteran slugger is Bryant. Bryant is
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: by far the worst contract in the history of this town.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: And that includes Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson played, at least.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: He played.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Chris Bryant was signed, and look, I'm not dogging him
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: because of an injury, but the second we saw the signing,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: we all said to ourselves, huh?
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: What does that fix? What does that solve? And what's
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: the purpose? We did it immediately.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Spending $ 25, $ 27, whatever the number was, million dollars a
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: year on a player whose body was breaking down, number one,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: but number two, on a roster that wasn't good enough.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: And we all kind of knew it. Especially for a
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: long-term contract.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: It's insanity. So they've spent money on guys like him.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: They spent money, and as much as we like Kyle Freeland,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Freeland had a really good year in 2018. And really
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: hadn't had one since then. He was okay at best,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: but you gave him a big long-term contract.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Didn't make sense. Same thing with guys like Senza or
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: guys like Marquez or whoever.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: It just didn't make sense. And it's where you spend
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: the cash. You need to have a big-time scouting department.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: And you need to have a big-time analytics department to
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: be in the same realm as teams like the Milwaukee
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays and the Chicago White Sox.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: They're one of them too. But all these different teams
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: that we saw, the Cleveland Guardians, the.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: These smaller market teams that don't spend a lot of money,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: they spend a ton of money in their scouting departments,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: in their analytics departments, because that's where they need to
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: have the edge. You know who doesn't need a gigantic
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: scouting and analytics department?
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: The Dodgers.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Because their scouting department is, wow, Shohei Otani's really good.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: We should get him. That's how they scout. Scooball throws...
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Really hard and strikes a lot of guys out. We
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: should get him. That's their scouting. The Rockies are capable
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: of being a team like this. And before you say, oh, no,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: they're not. The Chicago White Sox, who also lost 100
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: games in three consecutive seasons, this year went to the postseason,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: damn near made it to the ALCS.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: It's possible.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: And this is the big next step for a guy
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: like Dee Podesta. I think he did a great job
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: of revamping the lineup with young players who are capable
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: and have high ceilings. You see that with your Rumfields,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: your Cole Kerrigs, those kind of players. You now need
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: to take that exact same philosophy towards pitching And I've
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: explained this before, but it feels like they just punted
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: on the pitching part last year, that they were doing
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: a laser focus on the lineup and revamping that. That's
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: why you went out and you got Michael Lorenzen and
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Tomoyuki Shugano and older pitchers that are in their mid
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: to late 30s on one-year contracts. They're bridge guys. They're like,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: please just get us through this season and then we'll
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: address that in the offseason. So that's the next big step.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: But bottom line is, the Brewers in winning this World Series,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: the Rays for getting to the World Series, are two
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: examples of teams. You don't need a ton of money
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: to put together a good roster. You need to be
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: able to scout and develop players. That's the big thing.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: And the text says, don't be disingenuous. The Dodgers do
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: an incredible job scouting and drafting on top of buying everyone.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying they don't. I'm saying they don't have
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: to be as precise as the Rays or the Guardians
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: or the Brewers or the other teams.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: That's obvious.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: They do an incredible job scouting and drafting players that
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: they package together for superstars in trades.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: That's what they do. And look, it's still, they do
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: a great job at it, but if they swing and
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: miss on a draft pick or their scouting department has
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: a bad year, it doesn't set them back four years.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: They'll buy their way back into the winning category.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Um, In all of this, Antonio Sensatella is somebody who
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: got a ring yesterday, so good for him. I always
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: thought about how odd that must be. You're on a
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: team that loses 100 games a year for the last
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: four seasons, and you get traded to a team that
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: wins a World Series.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Pretty nuts. But all I'm trying to tell you is,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: it is possible to do what the Brewers do if
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: you are.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: If you are more accurate in your assessments of who
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: is deserving of cash and who is not. You know,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I think that they were smart in the way they
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: handled Hunter Goodman this year. He's a young player who's
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: one of the best at his position in the league,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: and just because your team's stinks, you don't flip those
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: guys for prospects every single time that you get one
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: of them, or else you're just going to be on
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: a treadmill of trading good players for prospects, hoping the
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: prospects are as good as the player you just traded. Now,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: if somebody blows you away with an offer, then all
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: of a sudden I think it becomes reasonable. But if
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: they don't, you keep them because they're good. Now, this
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: season's over. The next question is, when's the next baseball
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: game going.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: To be played? Because I doubt it's going to be
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: February in spring training.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Heading towards a lockout, and now all of a sudden,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: you know, all these ideas of what we have to
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: maybe revamp a roster get muddied. because negotiations might not
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: be happening.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: But just on the surface, I say this to you
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: in saying that the Rockies can be capable of doing
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: things like this. So, 303-504-0925. As we broadcast from the
