• 1:18
  Speaker 6: The Mac attack and back jack goals in five straight games.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: One of not the worst key to a game I've
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: heard in the history of radio. Impulse engage.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: All right three to one? You need to make it
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: all complicated. You don't need to have some elongated, drawn
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: out oh. I think with if they're gonna, if they're
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: gooda left wing lock, you you need to reverse that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: pup to the near side of the F three and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: let hit. You don't need all that. You know what
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you need to do when you're a good hockey club,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: get involved again, Just go, just go get some. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what they did. They got some.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: But there was there's a moment in the game, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: we talked about it earlier, but it was this from
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Michael mccaren.
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you played against Josh. He's a he's
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: a dirty player. He's always been surprised he got away
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: with only a two four minute I'm happy still in
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: the game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: He doubles down in the post game.
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: Wow, I blew him up and he grabs me and
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: pulls pulls me on top of him, and then I mean,
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: he's a dirty player. He took his butt end and
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: clearly buttened me in the face. I don't know how
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: it's not a five minute. I think the rule book
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: says it's a five minute if you butted someone in
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: the face. He's a dirty player. He's always been not
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: very well respect him.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: So two different statements on this number one.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Uh, I think that that might change sort of the
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: feel of what Game five is because maybe it's not
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: going to be solely about hockey from the Minnesota Wild
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and trying to get a win. Maybe they're out for
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: that dirty R word repercussions a little bit.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: It's just one of those situations We've seen it over
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and over again in series that feel like they're done.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And look, I'm that no cart before the horse or
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: anything that you want to say about that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I think Minnesota kind of knows there.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Down three to one against probably the best team in
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the league, it's a very very uphill climb to try
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: and win this series. Now it feels like it's towards
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the its conclusion.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Well you could feel that, but most correct me if
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. All that does winning the way you did
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: last night, it gives you ample breathing room. It allows
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you to exhale. This series is not over. If they
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: find a way to win Wednesday night, Minnesota, it's very
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: much alive again. So it's funny how the Stanley Cup
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: playoffs work. You live and die by every game. You
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: could sweep every damn game and still ugh anxious moments.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I disagree with you, Brett. I mean it's three to one.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I understand the stats, I get it, I understand what
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: everybody says, but all it takes is one game to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: change the balance of the series one most I don't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: know if you're with me on.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: This, Yeah, no, I completely agree. That's why you need
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to stay focused. But Vic, this is why again, good
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: hockey clubs and teams that are purposeful, this is why
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: they advance on it is because they when they can
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: put you away, they do that kind of thing. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not gonna sit here. I just know
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: what I see, and I know what I've not seen
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: in years gone by, But I do know what I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: see right now, and that's a focused, just headstrong group
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: about what their mission is, you know, and the way
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I look at it last night too, I mentioned the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Bruce Boudreau comment from last night way earlier when he said, look,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: teams can hang with the Avas, because I've watched a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: lot of Avalanche hockey teams can hang with them for
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a period two periods, but eventually that depth and that
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: relentless nature of their game is going to get you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And that's what happened last night, and they had away
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: last night, fellas of basically overwhelming the Minnesota Wild. You
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: could see it as it went on. They're like, God,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, the level you have to maintain and sustain
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to win in the Stanley Cup playoffs is almost I mean,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: it's almost incomprehensible. It's not superhuman, but it's like Cole Lee.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You can't let up even this much because you're gonna
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: get burned. But you stay with it, and you stay
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: with it and you stay with it. And I had
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a great conversation with Jackie Shawn after the game actually
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: because that was his first National Hockey League playoff game,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and I said, okay, you're down one nothing, but you
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: played good first. He goes, I go, what you know
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: what happens in the room? He said, well, Landy, talk
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to all of us this and this is where Gabe
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Landeskog gets value.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Is supreme.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Was Gabe Blandeskog had a lot to say, and he's like, look, guys,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the good period. He's like, just stay with our game.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: This is the reiteration. Stay with what we do best.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: We're going to be just fine. And there's gotta be
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: For a young guy like a Sean or other young guys,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: there's gotta be just a tremendous calming effect when you
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: have ninety two stand up in that room, Vic and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Breton and tell you, hey, play your game. You're good. Hey, kid,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you're good.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I think that kid was wonderful last night. There was
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: an instance where he was on the ground blocking shots
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: two or three times there in front of Blackwood. He
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: made quite the impression.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Who is he?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Uh? Where did this come from?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He's a player?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: No, but did he did he play with them at
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: all this season?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah? He was up and down a little bit. He's yeah,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: he was with the Eagles, but they called him up.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Wait you remember when Cale got injured in Game one,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: right and left the game, and well yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah. They called jacka Sean up because they wanted
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to make sure that, you know, they had a guy,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: because Manson was still out, that they had a guy
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that you know, that could come in and you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and play, and a guy who knows the system and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that sort of thing. He made his debut with the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Bruins some years ago, signed a free agent contract with
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the Abs back in twenty three he's been playing a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: lot with the Eagles. He's he's kind of that tweener
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: type of dude between.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: The So why why did they?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I think I think Blankenberg was himself a bit overwhelmed
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: in Game three. I thought they picked on him a
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: little bit. I thought of Sean. Sean is a smaller
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: guy too, no doubt, but the ability to have fresh
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: legs and to be able to sketch your way out
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of problems and just it's so, here's the thing what
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I say about Jared Bednar, he loves predictability. I thought
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that maybe Nick's game in Game three was a little
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: bit more unpredictable than Jered Bednar would like. He knows
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: exactly what he's getting out of his seawan. He doesn't
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: try to over complicate things. He's not going to try
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to do too much in that situation. He's gonna get
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the puck on his stick. He's gonna find his deep
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: partner in Manson that puck is out of his zone.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Well, he made he made two blocks in the second
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: period in the span of four seconds that were huge.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Huge blocks. Huge block But I.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Want to spend some time here because I'll be the
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: first to admit I like to do my hand raise.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I was wrong about something, didn't even say it on
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the air. It's just I'm letting you know a thought
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that I had when I listened to Raj and coach
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: talking to McGahee and they said that Blackwood was in
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the starter's net during morning skate.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: I didn't like it. I thought it was the wrong move.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I thought you stick with Wedgwood.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And I know that we had those discussions with Bennar
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: leading into the playoffs about he still thinks that both
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: guys are going to play, because that was the what
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: was the quote, the rhythm of the team thing and
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: all that. I was a little bit nervous about Blackwood
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: getting the start, to be honest with you, and he
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: was phenomenal, kept you in the game multiple times, huge
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: saves to keep Minnesota off the board. They didn't he
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: didn't face a lot of shots, but when he did
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: face shots, they were pretty prime opportunities. And for him
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: to make those saves in that moment when it's almost
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've talked about this with goalies before. Most
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: sometimes you those goalies that it's easier when more pucks
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: are on them, because that's how they get into a
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: rhythm rather than you went seventeen and a half minutes
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: of game time and over an hour of real time
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: between shots on net. That can be difficult because when
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: you're just kind of standing there waiting for something to
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: happen and nothing happens, then it's like, oh no, it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: go time now.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: That can be almost harder sometimes.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you want to stay. You
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: want to stay, you know relevant you want to stay
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: in the game. You want to touch a puck, right.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I've seen goalies sometimes, guys vic you know this, man,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot of shots coming at them, so
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: every time the puck is in their zone, they're skating
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: around like they're a damn forward, Like they're out there.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: They want to touch the puck. Man, they got they
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: got to touch the puck. They gotta stay invested in
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: this game. And that's a real thing. But listen, Mackenzie
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Blackwood is a very good goalie. I mean very I
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: was ye story for you. I get in with my
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: final hit with Johnny Johnny Lyles yesterday. I'm on the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: We're on the concourse and I'm walking back to the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: elevator to go upstairs, and I see the pizza place.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I gotta give me some pizza. So
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I'm in the pizza line. Wild fan right here, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: we started. He sees my Avs pin oh abs blah
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: blah blah. He goes, we're gonna line up Blackwood tonight. Man,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that's a big mistake. We're gonna blow him up. Man.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, you you realize he was the number
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: one and that they they did win the Jennings Trophy
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: this year. Yeah, man, but that's a total mistake. Man,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: We're gonna blow him up. Man.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, look I didn't think he'd get blown up,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: but I I just told you I didn't like it, and.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I was wrong. Well, no, it's just oh I was
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: hella good dude. Two big slices of pepperoni, and you
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: know the pepperoni where it curves up on the outside
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: and it gets crunching. Oh those are my face. Yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: You probably shouldn't have anyway, but look, you knew that
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: both guys were gonna play at some point. I would
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: not surprise me. If the Avs are fortunate enough to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: advance on that, you're gonna see wedge Wood again too.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, Coach Bednar knows his team. You know, he
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: knows how guys react with different guys in the net
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and so on. I mean, he's pulling the right right
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: strings right now, fellas, he really is. The lineup changes
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: he made last night, partly out of necessity but partly
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to kind of get guys going worked perfectly, perfectly.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Most tell me about the injuries, because we didn't. We're
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: not aware, at least I wasn't. I didn't know Lecky
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: had sent issues. I didn't know Malinsky wasn't. I mean,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: did you guys have any idea.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: When Lecky was not part of power Play? He was
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: on the ice yesterday morning, but when he was not
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: taking reps with a second power Play unit, I'm like,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that's a little odd. Malinsky was running the top unit
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and placed on a car who did not skate, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I had no clue that either of them could possibly
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: miss the contest. I didn't find out till everybody else
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: found out. I was very surprised because I saw them
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: both in the room afterwards and they seemed, you know, okay,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know specifically what it is, but hopefully it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: nothing major or nothing prolonged. You know, you get manson
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: back in. I thought Sean played played pretty darn well,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: but you got Kivy Rotha back in. Was he noticeable
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: last night? Was Kivy noticeable with his legs last night? Yeah?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I thought he was. I thought I just I thought
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: he was moving very well and he was aggressive. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: he's not a big hitter. He's not gonna, you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: light you up, but he is going to just be
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: there all the time, pesky all the time.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Most one more hockey question because I can't ever understand
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: they called the Avs for too many men on the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: ice there and I'm and it's happened a few times.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Why does Why is that a consistent
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: issue because it's been an issue and they could have been.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Called twice for it last night. Yeah, sometimes a beaver
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: gets eager. Eager beaver, you want to get out there, man,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: You want to, You want to get out there, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you want to you want to you know, you want
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: to contribute, which is I also thought the Avs had
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of hot passes last night in the early
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, these guys are jacked because they're like Brett.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Whenever we play, let's say, we like we throw the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: football around the studio and like vickles just like across
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the studio. Burn one at your head, right, burn one
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: at you, like, dude, dude, what I thought last night? There?
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Like the guy's right there. You can just you can
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: float them a pass and you're pounding off his stick
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, these guys are jacked. Same kind of
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: story with the the too many men. It's a it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: a little bit a little bit brain damage and it's
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it's mostly eager beaver. You just want to get on quickly.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Most that pass.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: What's great about today is that it's not yesterday.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: That passed from Nick Wah to Ross Colton. Does he
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: does he know he's there? Is he just making that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and thinking he's there?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Well? He he did the defenceman. It's kind of funny.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: That was a panic move by the defenseman. The shot
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: comes in and he just wants to just clear it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I just want to clear it, and he gives it
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: a right to Nick Waugh, who knocks it down. Finds Colton, Bam.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Great play. Those guys had not played together before. Colton
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: and Wah had not played I you know, like like
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that right, yeah with that line? How about that man
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: boom boom. I mean, it's just it's a It should
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: make you feel good that the depth has come through.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Set up with some hard work by Brock Nelson before
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: that too. Who again, he's somebody that you know.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: At the beginning of the game, I thought Brock was

• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Lady Gaga stuff that kind of thing. Yeah, I don't know.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Bick could know. He knows all about that.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can look like Cale by just looking
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: like you're fifteen years old. I mean, Cale's an assassin,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: but he looks like he's like a mid teen.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so if you got a teen year old, maybe
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: he can pass for Cam mccarr and you can wind
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: the prizes.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Let's see how it goes tomorrow. Hey, be fun rookie camp.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I got some audio from Sean Payton. I want you
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: guys to hear. First of all, it's an update on
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: bo Nicks's ankle.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: Before we get into that, let me do this because
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: I think this will help everyone. Let me go through
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: clearly with bo Nicks where he's at. He's doing great.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: He'll be well ahead of time for training camp. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: think there's a good chance we see him in this
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: offseason program in June. We're going to be the ones
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: kind of holding him back, if you will. The follow
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: up procedure was not a surprise.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I was just talking to bow.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: We had five other players that stage surgeries where there's
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: a step they evaluate and then a second step.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: We had five.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: He was the sixth that that actually went through that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: No surprises. We feel real good about where he's at
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: full speed by training camp. We just we just want
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: to be smart relative to holding him back a little.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about Bonnicks's ankle that
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: gets everybody wearing tinfoil hats and coming up with conspiracy theories.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: He seems fine, Yeah, but this is weird.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And here's here's the only thing that's weird about it.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I've broken both ankles. You know, if you break your ankle,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it's like any other body part. You clearly need more time.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's been four months by the time he gets back
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: on the field, four or five months. Yeah, that's a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: long time. That's a that's a longer than normal time.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: But he's not doing nothing, I understand, But why does
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it necessitate so much more time? Is the question.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Well, here's I guess.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: It's if you believe what Sean Payton just said or not,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: if you think that Sean Payton is is basically covering
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: for like, Hey, we're gonna be the ones that slow
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: him down. It's not anything wrong with him, unless you
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: don't believe him. I think they're like, we don't need
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: to push him in many, he's going to be a
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: full go by camp.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I guess I don't see why everybody is very nervous
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: about me.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why Brett because
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: and maybe people are overly nervous. And when I listen
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: to Sean Payton talk about it or I read the stories,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: nothing to me seems out of the ordinary. It seems like, okay,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, Sean Payton is very believable when he says
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: he's fine, he's gonna be fine, We're ready to go.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: He's gonna be ready, Okay, great. It's the nagging situation,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: it's the the history of the ankle rights. It's the
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: perpetuation of things that make people nervous. If he had
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: gone and ran Brett and got crushed by you know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: three defensive linemen, and broke his ankle. Whatever. Okay, but
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: we had to go back and try to find out
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: when the hell had happened because it was a non
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: contact thing. So the propensity of the ankle perhaps to
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: flare up or rebreaker whatever, makes people a little bit
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: nervous when you're ready to hand out a contract to
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: a guy that's gonna be north of forty million dollars
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: per year.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I'll go back to something that I take some solace in,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: which is I get the I guess repeated nature of
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: this specific ankle injury stuff. He plays, He's he plays
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: every week dating back to his freshman year of college.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: He's missed like six games in his entire life since then.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Understand So it's not something that physically keeps him off
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: the field, first of all. Second of all, I don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: ever notice him with something that seems to be bothering
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: and affecting his play. Oh, now, why don't we make
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: set just quickly?
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton said something else about this.
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: Let's discuss the process of staging. Sometimes after the initial
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: surgery there doesn't require a second one. I mentioned that
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: we had five other players that had A and B.
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: I think back in February. The anticipation was because we're
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: starting in June. I think I'm probably going to be
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: a week and a half maybe two weeks off, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: I think you guys will get a chance to see
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: it now. For up to him, it'd be earlier. But
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: we're going to be smart.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I okay, I'm not concerned about the surgery. I'm not
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: concerned about the rehab.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I'm only concerned about how it happened. He wasn't crunched
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: under a tackle. That's just ran and made a turn.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Not even it wasn't even really running. It was jogging
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: to a spot to get the field goal in the
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: right position.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: So no, no, that was no.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: It happened when he turned, when he ran to the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: left side. You're you're misremembering. He planted trying to turn
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: up field, printing to his left. So the concern for
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: me is not the rehab. He's gonna be fine.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: He's a warrior.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: It's what how does that happen?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: When agreed? Agreed, Bret, I'll tell you what. I'll make
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: a pact with you. You ever you ever been part
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: of a pact before, make a pact with you. I
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: won't bring up the ankle, and I won't worry about
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the ankle, and I won't talk about the ankle. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: won't study it, I won't look at pictures. I won't
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: do any of that until something happens again. Knock me,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: knock on my wood horn. Okay, if something happens again,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: then we'll talk about it, because then it's gonna be
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: a real I'm gonna take care. I'm gonna take everybody's
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: word forward for now that he's gonna be fine, that
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: his wheels are gonna be good, that he's gonna be
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: the same old bullen. It's because we love to watch
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: him run. I love to watch him run. He's a
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: hell of a runner man. So until he can't do that,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna pretend like everything is a okay, perfect, ready
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to go.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not even saying like, stop talking about it. I'm
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: just curious as to why there seems to be a
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: panic meter with some behind the ankle injury, because it's
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: seems not.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: A one off.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: That's why it's perfectly natural to have a little bit
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: of concern. I'm not as heavily concerned as others. I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: don't care about, you know, the rehab process, that I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: care about why it happened, how it happened, and as
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: if every time he runs, now my concerned about if
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: it happens again. That's all sort of like the Aaron
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Gordon thing. Tell me you don't you know what I do?
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And Aaron Gordon is on the court. You're watching closely right, yes?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And do you know how long it took me to
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: get over Landy? How long did it take me to
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: get over Landy? Like is the lego case to get Ahold?
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Like big hits in the corner, sprawling out of the ice, gets,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: you know, knocked over, tumbleweed, that kind of thing, And
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I'm like and then finally I'm like, nah, it's great.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Man couldn't give her. It's good as new. Dead guy
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: is as good as new.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Difference between those two again, though, is Aaron Gordon has
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: missed serious time and missed games due to injuries that
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: he suffered.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Landy obviously was out for three years.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Bo miss if if this happened, if this happened in
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: week four, Brett, he would have missed the rest of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the season. I'm understood. I mean, I guess we're there
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: was no luck involved in it because he missed the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: AFC title game, but it happened in the postseason.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I get it. One other thing here from
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: He pointed out somebody, this is not a rookie, but
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: they asked this guy to come to rookie camp to
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: get some extra work.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: And who stood out.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you stood out Caleb. He looks entirely different
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: in this camp. Now, he was here in this camp
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: a year ago as a draft pick. But he stood
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: out everything everything, It's entirely noticeable. And he's in great shape.
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: You see his athleticism. Good to see him, you know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: in year two and you knew there was going to
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: be a developmental upside, but that was encouraging.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: If you remember, Caleb's moved his way.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's made his way up the He got seven
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: tight hands. He part of the mix. Now he's in.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Well here's here's the thing though, if you remember, Caleb
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: b Looher was a guy they took a flyer on
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: in the seventh round of last year's draft because he
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: was I don't know if you'd call it new to football,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: but he was. I mean, he was a basketball guy
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: that made the transition. He had four catches in one
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: year at Utah. That's his entire NCAA statistics. But he's
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: six foot seven, two hundred and fifty pounds, and he's like, man,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I remember Jimmy Graham was a guy that was kind
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: of like that big dude that we turned into something
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: in New Orleans. Here's my thing, moj I, I don't
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: care who it is. Throw a dart at any one
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: of the seven tight ends? Can somebody be impactful?
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you this. If you're telling me a.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Dude who's six foot seven, two hundred and fifty pounds
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: has made a little bit of a leap in that room,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I like to hear it because he's huge and there's
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: no defending somebody who's six foot seven.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: How many how many tight ends will they keep overall
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: including practice squad?
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: That's a question with I don't know with practice squad,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: but I mean probably four, that's what they did last year.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I can only envision. You know, a kid who is
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: a basketball player. I'm sure he knows the rules of
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: football in the year that he's been with the Broncos.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Are we are we gathering sets?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Wait, so when you catch it over this line, that's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a touchdown?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Now, so I've thought about this, like, it's not like
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: it's not like he was playing Australian what progress. Oh,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I got it. Now, the kid was playing polo in
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: England and all of a sudden he's catching, He's touchdown.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Stop it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I hate to put it this way, but this is
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: a genuine question.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: And I don't mean this as any disrespect, but considering
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: what we've seen in the past, which is guys who
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: have never played football can come into the NFL and
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: play tight end at a that is deemed worthy of
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: a roster spot in playing time, is tight end the
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: easiest position in professional sports? Just to pick up and play.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I guess you just go to a spot turn around.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: It's funny you say that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: And I don't mean that disrespectful. You can't just walk
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: into the MLB and be a baseball player.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: That doesn't happen.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: And it's not just tight end. I could take a
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: very large body and football players are going to be
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: very offended by this. I played football a little bit,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: but you're going to be offended. I could fashion a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: football player, you cannot fashion a baseball player. You cannot
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: do it to a hockey player. Hockey is the toughest.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many athletes don't even know how to skate.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: You cannot fashion a basketball player, you can't. You can't
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: just become a professional golfer.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: You can't. You can't do it.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: But you know what if I take a large, muscular human,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I can make that person into a football dude.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: The Philadelphia Eagles, remember the last this was it the
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: same round draft day they took that Adonna's body out
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: of Nigeria who's never played football.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, and they're like, who cares, you're huge.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I'll take it a step further, Ronaldo NIAMAI effect. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: could take a track athlete, say you're returning kicks or
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: you're gonna play receiver, Gonna line you up on the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: outside and run as fast as you can.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: So again, I don't mean that disrespectfully, but I'm just asking,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: out of all professional sports, is that the easiest thing
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: to just kind of wait?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think you need Your default shouldn't be respect.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: It's the truth. It has nothing to do with respect.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, football is a violent, savage game.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: It's the truth.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You could take a body type and turn that body,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: teach a few rules into a football player. You who
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: will not do that with any other sport.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: You can't. Who was the guy the former pro athlete
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: who became a professional fisherman, a bass fisherman or something.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Who is that doesn't count. Fishing doesn't count. As fishing
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: doesn't count, Curling doesn't count. I'm talking about the major
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: sports that we do in this country.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Curling doesn't count.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, hockey, hockey, hockey. There's not a single athlete out there.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And unless you have the basics and you could skate,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: hockey is on a on a level of its own.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: It was the specialized sport.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, least least thing on this for me, Vick, and
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to wear you out.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Don't bring up fourteen or any of this crap.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Who was the actress that that almost became an Olympic archer?
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: You you weren't participating in the same conversation we're just having.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Just stop it.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Texas says you are so freaking wrong. Somebody turn him off.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Tight End is arguably arguably the hardest position to learn.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: You have to know every single position on the field,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the pass game, runs, pass and run blocking. You're right, look, look,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: look hang on hand on to that point. I'm not
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: saying playing tight end is an easy thing. Okay, I'm
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: not saying that, because obviously if it were so easy,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: the progress will I had one in the last decade
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: and they don't.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: But also, here's here's here's the point.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Of the question I'm asking you.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can find any other spot in
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: any other sport where somebody who has never participated in
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: the sport can walk in at a professional level and
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: over the course of a year be somebody that Sean
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Payton talked about, like kayleb blowner agreed that's.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I would totally agree with that. I would totally.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Agree with that play, Like Antonio Gates or Jimmy Graham.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Streeve Antonio Gates, who played basketball became a football player,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: learned the football game, and then became a Hall of
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Fame football player.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Give me a numb but that's also rare. Vic I mean,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: but give me an famers.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, mos rare. Rare is one thing. Never Anio.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: There's never been somebody who I hadn't played baseball and
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: at twenty four said I'm gonna play Smiles.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: The hockey player who.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Never played hockey until he was eighteen and became a
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. It doesn't happen in football. It can happen.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: It's not a knock on football. It's just an easier
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: sport to pick up. Hit the man, run, be muscular, be.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Big, be tough.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta learn the nuances of the sport. But
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of that, for a lot of reasons,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: is vastly overplayed. Now, the quarterback position, I get it,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I get it, I totally get it. But just run
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: to that point make a tackle.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Also, what are these little videos you're doing? What is that?
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: What is this little video? What is this thing? These
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: are now popping up on your feet? What is that?
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Vick Hippa? Yeah, but I see these little videos of
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: you just like you're clearly this morning you're doing our show.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: But during your break you're.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Like, let me tell you what I call professionals about hockey.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, were you making it a video on maybe
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the art of going into archery. I'm not a big
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: arch probably who became a pro fisherman.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: You have me to do a video on that?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Texta said Michael Jordan played baseball. Michael Jordan would not
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: have played baseball if his name wasn't Michael stop it.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: If his name was Tim Smith, that guy ain't getting
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: a shot anywhere.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's the truth.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Someone says you can't make anyone into a football player.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. I'm not saying you can make anyone. Nobody.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Nobody says you're gonna take Steve Nelson to make them
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: a football player. Can I can if Steve Nelson were
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: six eight, If Steve Nelson's six foot eight and runs
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a four four forty, your damn Roddick could turn him
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: into a tight end.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Hey him, listen.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying. This is what I'm getting at.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: You can't take anybody and make them a football player.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: But football is the.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Only sport where somebody could jump in and do it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying you. There is not a single
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: human being in the world that, at twenty two years old,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: if they've never played hockey, could up into hockey and
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: be an NHL player. There's not a single person in
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: the world that's never played baseball. They could jump into
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: the MLB and be a professional baseball player.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: One says, how about soccer?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't want to hear you.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: People say that soccer is easy to get. I don't
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: want to hear it because you sound stupid when.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: You say that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I could take the greatest athlete in the world at
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the age of twenty and said go play soccer and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: they get used. Used.
• 33:26

• 33:51
  Speaker 4: this Fron? Oh by the way? Oh by the way,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: did Lebron plays last game last night?
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: No?
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think he has he's too productive. Okay, I
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: don't think you walk out when you throw twenty eight
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and twelve on the board.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Ron seems a kind of guy. Brett. Yeah, but he's
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: the kind of guy. He's gonna have to have a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: farewell tour. I mean, he's he's gonna have to announce
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: it in the least everybody didn't love him. He said
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: he didn't want it. Really, that's what he want to say.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Look, if he could keep I kind of agree with you, Mos,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: even if he doesn't want one, I think it's gonna
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: be really hard for him to keep that under wraps.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, unless he just disappears one day, I don't know.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. Hey, we didn't talk about this at
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: all yet, but I think it's important to mention Vic
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: back me up on this. The great Craig Morton passed
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: away at the age of eighty three, and for those
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: youngins out there, they don't know how important he was
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: to actually putting the Denver Broncos on the map as
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: a football team, but they were from the time they
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: were the AFL then to the NFL, they were kicked
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: around a lot, and Craig Morton did a great job
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: with the Denver Broncos and he put him on the map,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: and then of course always took the mantle from there.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: But he's a terrific player eighteen years in the National
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Football League, but passed away at the age of eighty three.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: So ar condolases go out to his family and friends
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: and obviously all those within the Denver Broncos. But good dude,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: super good dude.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: And you do a great job of stealing MYO. By
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the ways, but you're right, O.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: No, sorry, you're right.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: He was the first great championship quarterback here in Denver.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: He was the first great quarterback hero in Denver because
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: he did something that other quarterbacks couldn't do.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: You know what he did.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: He beat the Raiders, and he beat him in the
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: AFC title game, and he did so with a swollen
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: leg that most people wouldn't even get out and play.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: So Craig Morton's always gonna live a legendary status for
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: both those who grew up watching the Broncos of the seventies,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the first great Broncos team Craig Morton connection.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Man, let me blow your mind, Brett, go ahead, he
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: played it. He played at Cal where his head coach
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: was whom Marv Levy was it really wow, I did
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: not know that assistant coach Bill Walsh. I can't believe
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Marv Levy's think about how old and Marv Levy had
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: to have been to be around that long. Wow. Nuts.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, as these NFL games are starting
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: to trickle in the pre schedule release releases. I suppose
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: one game that has been announced is that the Bills
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: will play the Lions in Week two on Thursday Night Football,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: which will open their brand new stadium. And I saw
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: a video of this stadium, and I gotta tell you,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: maybe I'm just I don't know what the word is spoiled.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: We've been spoiled now for a brand new football stadium,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: which is typically state of the art, looks beautiful, all
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: that stuff, it kind of just looks like.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Another I'll be honest. Have you guys seen it.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like a pan.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: I always figure if you're gonna do a new stadium,
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: it's gotta be like Sofi.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: It's got to be like all the bells and whistles
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: and did you say bedpan? It does look like a
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: bad pan. He's right, He's right about that.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Nelly.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: See if you can pull up.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I saw a video and it looked pretty plain to me.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: But it's hard to compare it to Sofi because Sofi
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: is an absolute cathedral. It's exquisite. I think Jurror World's great,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: but I think that a lot of other stadiums are
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: going to look pedestrian by by comparison.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the other thing, and this is I know
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: VI's gonna be with me on this. If you're building
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: a stadium in the cold Northeast, give.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Me an option.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Did not freeze my ass off, please, And but.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: They made the decision, dude, They made the decision in Buffalo.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: They did not want a dome. They wanted to make
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: They want use that as an advantage up there.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: So this is just if you're watching on Altitude television
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: or Twitter YouTube, this is a little video that they
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: put out of the stadium. It's just lights that I
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: see for right now. But yeah, it's just it looks
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: like a normal whatever stadium. And I'm just like, if
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: you're building a new one, make it cool.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: But you see that semi roof that's supposed to save
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: people from all the snow and sleep there underneath it
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: in the club session, it's not.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Gonna do jack.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, until it starts snowing sideways. Then you're in for
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: root awakening.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, the gloves are off now. In
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the SEC and college football, you know how I cannot
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: In football, the term student athlete has gone by the wayside.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: And we've had this argument before. I don't want to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: hear it anymore. I don't want to hear student athlete
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: playing football. I just don't because it's a business now,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: buy and large. It's a business. It's not about student athletes.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkesian, head coach at the University of Texas, says, quote,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: he's referring to the transfer portal man. Quote in Texas,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: we only take fifty percent of a player's academic credit hours.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: You may be a semester from graduating, but you got
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: to go all the way back to fifty percent. If
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: you play here and you want a degree, but it
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: all miss they can take all of it. All you
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: have to do is take basket weaving and you can
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: get an old misdegree.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: I wish I could do it.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear. Are you guys with and
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: this from? Am I overblowing it?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Am I?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: This whole student athlete or our student athletes are ready
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: for this game. If I hear that, I just automatically vomit.
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: You.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: You are an overblower sometimes, that's for sure. But I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: don't think in this regard you are. I think that
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: these are pros, now man, Let's call them what they are.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: They're getting paid their pros.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: And most of them. When it comes to academics, listen,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: I will argue that there are a ton of them
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: that aren't going to play at the next level. That
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: college degree means something. It means hell of a lot
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: to them and they have to go get it. But
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: to those who are select few that are going to
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the National Football League that are there to major in football?
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: How about we just making a major. What's your major marketing?
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: What's your major? Engineering? What's your major football?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Speaking of major? Oh, by the way, what's this week? Brett? Uh?
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: P uh? What J Championship? The PG championship, championship? Who's
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: the favorite?
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Scotty?
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Yep? Who's second? Yep? The usual? But guess who's third?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Cam Young is third in the betting odds right now,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: and uh, I like his chances. He's playing in some
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: really good golf you know where they're playing? Say it?
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Uh? Something like a Merrinac outside of Philly. Some weird name.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: How do you pronounce ironomic?
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Meg don like mink like mink coat? Ironomy?
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, Adrian Peterson.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: He's getting honored in the Ring of Fame for the
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Vikings and just out of curiosity, ap his last year
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: in the NFL was twenty twenty one.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: When did he enter the league?
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Pay a guest?
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and five seven. Wow.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious how many running backs are going to
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: have fifteen year careers or fourteen year careers anymore?
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, how often is that going to happen?
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, who's the guy Frank the kid? Yeah, Frank Gore.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: He was still in the NFL and he had a
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: kid like in college, right, Yeah.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: I think this is like anybody that has been drafted
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: beyond twenty twelve. You got about ten years max as
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: a running back. Nobody's going that long. Nellie got one
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: more for us.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: Oh by the way, Mose, you can save this word
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: for your next Avalanche broadcast next season, or you can
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: work it into your pregamer post game coverage if you want.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: But the point is, I have a word that you
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: need to incorporate into your lexicon that was used by
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: the great Gary Cohen calling.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: A Mets game on s n Y.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: Take a listen here, wrist.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Polks went down the right field line and bingch dies
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: it makes a fantastic catch. Oh wow, Carson benj win
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: a pul crytudinis play and the two men down on
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: the ninth.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: What polktu what pulkratudinis meaning physically beautiful or breathtakingly attractive, polkretudinous?
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Out of his way?
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Who is the guy that always used the Mark Jones?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Mark Jones always uses the big words when he's calling
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: the game, Like Mos. You never have to worry about
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Mos using big words. He does shoot, he shoot and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Pul crytudinis play. But most you never
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: consider that a compliment. Most nobody has to go to
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: the dictionary for you.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: Sometimes, Yeah, you guys, you guys broadcast to us dumbs.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, you're an idiot, you're a dummy. Consider that a compliment.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: A little shooting shoot.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: So it's a shooting shoot for a goal.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Then Ryker goes o top Chender or mama keeps the
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: biscuits or whatever, play toys.
