  Speaker 1: It's a whattlight football Friday, and let's head right back
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: out to the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident you need
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: ramos Law Medical doctor and attorney ramas Law dot Com.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: We're joined by Sorry.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Moje, I think the best voice in all of sports,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: which is Jim Nancy.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: A no offense taking no offense?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Jim, how are you doing?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us again.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Good morning friends. I'm so stoked about being back in
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Denver for the sixth time this season, and of course
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: this for the big one, so I can tell as
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: always this city is alive right now.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Jimmy, you had fifty one million people watched that game
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: last week, and I can't even imagine how many will
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: watch this one on CBS. But the fact that the
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: bon Nicks thing happened, What's going through your mind?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: When did you.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Find out about bone Nicks after the game? After the
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: call on Sunday.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: About twenty minutes after I'd left the stadium heading to
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: the airport, and we had somebody who had stayed behind
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: on our production team, and of course, like everyone else,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: I thought this was some kind of weird joke or hoax,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: and it didn't make any sense because I saw him
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: on our air speak to Tracy without any grimace in
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: any kind of appearance of an issue, And it was
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: just impossible to wrap my mind around it, like a
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: lot of people, like everyone, but you know, we've had
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: now it's a Saturday game, we've had. This is day seven,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: and like understanding what this means moving forward and getting
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: to know Jarrett or Stiddy as we know him now.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to meet with him later today out of
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: the facility. I think he's very capable. Now, look, he
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: bow is your starter for a reason, but I think
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Jarrett has some flashpoints in his career that should give
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the Bronco nation a lot of hope.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I think so too, Jim. And we've been talking about
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: the way the Broncos are built and the way they've
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: won games this year. And as you said, you've done
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: plenty of their football games your overall view of what
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: that defense does. You know how they just make plays
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: to win games, because it doesn't seem to me that
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: they always need to rely on their quarterback to go
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: on out there and throw for four fifty and four
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: touches to get the job done.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So they got more than a puncher's chance coming up
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: on Sunday.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, And look, Sean will know how to game plan this,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: and I'm trusting he's going to be careful initially since
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: it's been a long time since Didy has played in
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: a meaningful game, and you'll give him a bunch of
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: safe opportunities. I think for a good everyone ought to
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: think about Philip Rivers coming off the couch after five
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: years of not even going to camp, much less playing
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: in a preseason or doing anything except coaching a high
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: school football team, and they go and put them in
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: a situation within days at Seattle, which along with playing
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: at Denver are probably the two hardest places to play.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: And he goes into Seattle and ends up completing like
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: sixty five percent of his throws for one hundred and
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: eighty yards and a touchdown a little dump off pass
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: near the goal line. It was safe, and their defense
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: kept them in the game. They ended up losing at
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: the wire on a sixty yard field goal. But the
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: point is, it's not like he went out there frozen,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: not knowing what to do or game plan to try
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: to win the game with his arm. That's exactly what
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I think Sean's going to do. I think he's going
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: to figure out a way to game Planet and hopefully
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: there's a running game there for the Broncos hopes, and
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: you take it from there. That defense is good enough
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: to win the game.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Jim nantz with us. You've also had the opportunity to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: watch the Patriots and Drake May, who was likely going
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to finish top two in the MVP vote. There's an
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: unknown obviously about Jared Stidham and how he's going to play.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But how do you think Drake May handles a road
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: environment in this situation?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: He is cool man, he is He is unflappable in
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: these situations. I mean, you got to look at it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I saw him on the road down to Tampa when
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Tampa was actually playing well. I think Tampa was seven
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: to two going into game and then their season fell apart,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: but in part because they that game to the Patriots.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Patriots know you know it all they haven't lost on
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: the road this year, So there are some of those
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: environments are going to get your attention. And he managed
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: to go in and win at Buffalo for example, at Tampa,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: which was built to a fever pish that day in
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: early November. I think he'll be able to deal with it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Silent count at all, having said that he'd rather be
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: at home, no doubt. In this place when it gets stirred,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: it's nuts and you know it's just going to you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: have to see if his offensive line can protect him.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: It's been an issue. I do look at the numbers.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Last week. He fumbled it four times. He got hit
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: a lot by a great Houston defense, but it was
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Houston and be the weather was terrible, and I mean
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: the weather. You saw what CJ. Stroud did, so I
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: don't think that was typical by any means of what
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Drake's going to do in a high pressure situation. The
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: kid can handle it, I think, Jim.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I know you have a deadline. Couple more questions and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: we'll let you go. But you have called so many
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: games here in Denver. You're the voice of Denver Sports,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a team for all the visits to Mile High. Ten
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: years ago you called the AFC title game where the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Broncos beat Tom Brady Tom Brady oh for three. By
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the way, historically in the playoffs at a Mile High,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: can you explain why it's so hard for opposing teams
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: to win here in this.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Environment because of all of these listeners are out here
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: right now, and those that get into the stadium, they
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: do make a difference. I think that it's the twelfth
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Man kind of mentality, and it's a whole bunch of things.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: By the way, I did that game ten years ago.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I did the game thirteen years ago in the AFC
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Championship game, the twenty six to sixteen game. I did
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the game twenty years ago in the AFC Title game,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: which you guys didn't like because that was a young
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: un that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: We hate, all those terrible towls, Jim. We hated it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a bright or it was the early
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: game of the two on Championship Sunday like this one is.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: But we I think we kicked that one off even
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: a little earlier than three o'clock Eastern time. But hey,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I've had a lot of great memories here and more
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: to come. And may I add in that, VICKI how
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: much I love my Castle finds down there. At the
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: years that I got to broadcast the International at Golf
• 6:17

• 6:21
  Speaker 4: clubs in America. So I had a final four here
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: in ninety one, ninety ninety I was the host. It
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: was Brent's last show. He gets acquired him on Saturday
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: night and we all were in shock. And then we
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: had to go out to the old McNichols Arena where
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: the stadium is today. Basically it's right on the very Yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: we're a final four took place, So no, I've got
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: so many great memories in this city. And one of
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: the real special treats of this season is you never
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: know when you're given the schedule how many times you're
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: going to go to a given city. But we were
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: handed Dallas here and Green Bay here as doubleheader games
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: when the schedule came out, and Kansas City, so three
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: is a large you don't expect three. We ended up
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: being here week eighteen also, and then of course the
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: divisional game and now this one. So I've got six
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: trips to one of my favorite places on the planet

  Speaker 4: and I can hardly wait for something.

  Speaker 4: We've got heaters. But at the end of the game,
